Putting the ”Sports” in Sports Cars

Elton "Skip" McGoun is an emeritus professor of finance at Bucknell University and a visiting professor at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia and at the University of Donja Gorija in Montenegro. He has presented and published on the history and culture of finance as well as automotive history and culture and served as area chair of the Vehicle Culture Section of the Popular Culture Association. He considers the two senses of the word "Sports" - competition and recreation - and their relative roles in the creation of the class of vehicles known as "Sports Cars."
