  1951 Crosley Super-Sports Road Test
In case the designation "sports car" conveys any impression that it is only a fair weather toy for well-to-do playboys, let me correct that notion right now.
The car tested was a 1951 edition, and was provided by Ross Cumming, Inc. of Santa Monica, Calif., Crosley distributors for the Los Angeles area.
Weighing the front and rear of the car separately revealed that with average load, the car is almost perfectly balanced at the center of its wheelbase.

 Bobby Thomson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Thomson became a celebrity for hitting a home run in a playoff game, off of Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher, to win the 1951 National League pennant, what is perhaps the most famous home run in baseball history.
This event was even more dramatic than it may seem to the modern sports observer, as league pennants were not routinely decided by playoff until 1969 and only occurred in years in which teams finished the regular season in a tie, as had happened in 1951.
The home run was an exclamation point on a dramatic season for the Giants.

 Briggs Cunningham - American Racing Tradition - 1951 C-2R
Victory at the Glen, 1951: Phil Walters and John Fitch took first and second respectively, while Briggs Cunningham (above) finished 4th.
As delivered, the Chrysler engines produced 180 HP, but compression was raised from 7.5 to 8.6:1 (using Cadillac rods and pistons!) and a log-type manifold carrying four downdraft Zenith carbs was installed, resulting in 220 HP.
These early Cunninghams were fast, a C-2R reportedly being clocked at 152 mph during the Le Mans race, but they were far too heavy and put an exhorbitant load on tires, brakes and clutches - a problem the Cunningham crew could not solve with the state of the art at the time.
