The sports car world reaches far and wide. In the years following World War II, the sports car was a popular staple across most of the developed world. While the origins of the sports car are debated, models like the Jaguar XK120 – which was released in 1949 – can be credited with kick-starting the world’s obsession with the sports car. Other manufacturers, such as Crosley, created proto-sports cars at this time, like their Hotshot sports car.
