1949 MG TC Roadster

Sports cars largely disappeared from the American market during the Great Depression. After World War II, determined enthusiasts imported European roadsters, like the British MG TC, to satisfy their desires. With its four-cylinder, 54-horsepower engine, the TC wasn't much of a performer, but it was fun! American automakers noticed the trend and the Chevrolet Corvette and Ford Thunderbird soon appeared.
