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

Written 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.
