Mysterious “Miller” 1932 Ford Vintage Hot Rod at Dave’s Perfection Automotive in S. Austin

Posted on Mar 7, 2013Written by Ken Altes

This car has “Miller” logos on the engine and both sides of the hood. Harry Miller was the greatest race car builder in American history, winning 17 of 20 Indy 500’s before WWII, and did modify some Ford Flathead V8s for the 1935 Indianpolis, but I cannot find any more info. The red logo pictured here is the Miller race car logo. This car seems to have some pretty rare vintage performance parts. Note the tall dual carb intake manifold. I will look into this further, but if anyone has more info, please send it along – I’ll post any new info. Don’t miss this year’s Lonestar Round Up.

1938 Chevy Sedan at J. Colunga’s Body and Paint Shop on E. Cesar Chavez

Posted on Feb 26, 2013Written by Ken Altes

This attractive 1938 Chevrolet was in front of J. Colunga’s Body and Paint Shop on E. Cesar Chavez at Pleasant Valley Rd, owned by John Colunga. He showed me the condition of this car six months ago, sitting on a trailer very incomplete and looking like just a bunch of rusty parts. It turns out his brother, Jesse, was a fellow employee and friend of mine at Travis County Human Services some time ago. I drive by John’s shop frequently and I always see an interesting collector car in front. Call John for quality work at 512-927-6769.
