About This Item
The Matchbox 1949 Kurtis Sport Car 28/102 brings a distinctive postwar American sports car to the Matchbox lineup in a detailed 1:64-scale die-cast casting. This 2022 HFP01 variation is finished in metalflake dark red and features the long, flowing proportions of the original Kurtis roadster, along with an open cockpit, tan interior, smoke-tinted windshield and bright chrome-style exterior trim.
The casting captures the 1949 Kurtis Sport Car's low roadster profile with rounded fenders, prominent circular headlights, a broad front bumper and grille treatment, long sculpted body sides and a tapered rear deck. The miniature is complemented by detailed front and rear trim, silver-colored wheels and a classic open-top configuration that gives the model a distinctly vintage appearance.
Collector number 28/102 appears on the packaging, while product code HFP01-4B10 identifies this specific Matchbox release. The 1949 Kurtis Sport Car casting debuted in 2022 as part of the Matchbox mainline and represents a less-common type of historic American performance car compared with the modern sports cars and everyday vehicles found throughout the Matchbox range.

Why Collect This Model
The 1949 Kurtis Sport Car represents an important period in American sports-car history. Race-car engineer Frank Kurtis developed the sleek roadster as a lightweight performance automobile, and the design became notable for combining hand-built sports-car character with the possibility of customer customization. Mattel describes the original Kurtis as a nimble, high-performance roadster and notes its association with the first MotorTrend magazine cover.
For Matchbox collectors, this metalflake dark-red version offers a distinctive vintage subject with an open cockpit, tan interior, extensive chrome-style trim and classic roadster proportions. Its 2022 debut status also makes it a useful addition to collections focused on Matchbox first releases, historic American automobiles, convertibles, classic sports cars and MBX Showroom models.
