Introduction

Engine: Crosley

Builder: Seifried, Sr. & Jr.

Current Owner: unknown

"The Seifried name has long been associated with the building of specials. Richard Seifried, Sr., was a body builder at Auto Union when they were battling Mercedes for racing supremacy of the world. Since then, father and son have built a number of sports cars, both for themselves and for friends. Their first effort was a tire-ripping beauty which used to tear up the old Torrey Pines course in California. Torque was so great that the wheel bolts sometimes parted during acceleration. Their little dart-shaped class H Crosley special was one of the first of the 'Baby Brutes.' and is outstanding for its workmanship and weight-saving simplicity."¹
