Carl Kiekhaefer's early 50's original Cunningham C3. 1953 to be exact. It is known as the "Prototype", for its unique requested factory modifications per Carl. Curved side window glass & overall length shortened by two inches among others... 19 other C3 were built without any mods...https://i2.wp.com/thechicaneblog.com...ab82e407c1.jpg

I have one in storage right now that has a 50 Mariner....back when I was racing my 13' Hustler with the 80 Merc there was a guy on the river with a 10 footer and a 50 Merc and he just about kept up with me when I was " testing" my boat and my Hustler ran 64ish. Always looked like he was having a ball!!!
