1932 Ford HighBoy 1950s Roadster

The "Miller Automotive" is an original hot rod from the 1950s that was designed to race in the "B Roadster" class at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Built to promote the Miller Automotive business in Chino, California, the car achieved a top speed of 142.97 mph in its 1954 recird-breaking run. It is powered by a Ford "flat-head" v-8 equipped with Offenhauser heads, triple Stromberg Model 97 carbs, and a Harmon Collins magneto.
