Dual windshield with individual wipers. |
Neat logo on the horn ring which I am not sure what it might be. |
Beautiful dashboard. |

Inside the front roof panel is a bolt that can be removed to allow the hardtop to be removed. |
The rear bumper is a piece of art on this aluminum bodied car. |
Larry - the logo is the Muntz logo. Muntz was a electronic "wiz" he use to puchase RCA and other TVs and figure out how to make them with less parts (cheaper). Muntz TVs were around in the 1950s. Use to be a saying to Muntz something was to strip it down to bare components while still having it work. BTW he purchased the car rights from some racer back in the late 1940's.

I spotted the the Muntz jet in the showroom when I was in Lancaster, Pa. this past week. It was a ringer because I owned a black 1953 I sold to Joe Bortz to pay my daughter's pediatrician. Saw it in the window - the right front headlight shape was easy to guess it was a Jet as I rounded the corner, I want to show the car to my wife and let her decide if she wants to trade me in for the Jet.
