Description

One of the Englishmen who helped Americans rediscover the esport in motoring was in Fort Worth Tuesday in quest of the shape his cars will take in the future. He was John W. Thornley, 49-years-old director and general manager of the MG Car Company, whose 1948 TC Midget is generally credited with touching off the postwar American interest in automotive imports.
