Kuzma (racing car)
Kuzma was an American chassis manufacturer producing monoposto racing cars in the 1950s and 1960s.
Development history
Along with Kurtis Kraft and Watson, Kuzma was one of the most famous racing car manufacturers for the AAA National series in the 1950s and early 1960s. As a rule, the monoposto cars were powered by an Offenhauser engine.
In the USA, however, it was customary for vehicles to be registered for the races under the names of the sponsors or owners. Troy Ruttman won the Indianapolis 500 in 1952 on a Kuzma and Jimmy Bryan won the Two Worlds Race in Monza in 1957 on a Kuzma .
