In 1916, as a result of a collaboration with Barney Oldfield, a top racing driver of the day, Miller gained a reputation as a builder of racing cars. By 1920, Miller developed a 183cc straight eight engine, which in 1922 powered a Miller car driven by Jimmy Murphy to win the Indianapolis 500. Such was the success of Miller cars, that during the period 1922-1929, 73 of the 92 major U.S. races were won by a Miller car.Each Miller Car comes complete with a driving figure constructed with moveable head and arms so that the driver can be posed in a suitable action positionLeather seat is deteriorating (brittle to the touch) - see picFigure never displayed (kept in original plastic bag)Residue on front end, near screws (see pic)Tin has minor tarnish (see pic)INSURANCE REQUIRED FOR TRANSIT - PAID BY BUYERYour shipment will arrive via USPS Priority Mail (1-4 business days), USPS Ground Advantage (2-5 business days), or UPS Ground (1-5 business days), after the 2-3 day processing time (upon purchase)Shipment(s) sent out of Lemon Grove, California, USAWill be packed very well - READ OUR FEEDBACK!No Returns *UPS GROUND WILL BE CHEAPER THAN SHOWN - ASK US, NEED YOUR ZIP CODE!
