The 1935 Miller Fords represent one of the most significant moments in American motorsports. Miller was the undisputed dominant force in American auto racing and Henry Ford wanted to go racing abdly. Rather than use Millers own proven design, Henry naturally wanted something all new and he wanted it right away. The Miller Ford was certainly the most technically advanced car of its day but the tight deadline prevented the necessary testing before the Indy 500. The ten untried cars all dropped from the race early with a mechanical failure. Embarrassed by the results, Ford avoided racing for years after and Miller was forced to seel the shop to his employee, Fred Offenhauser.
With only ten examples originally made, this very nicely crafted recreation is an ideal opportunity to own an earmark in history for a fraction of the cost.
