The 2013 Amelia Island Concours celebrated the incredible race cars of Harry A. Miller, arguably the most important race car designer the US has ever produced. His supercharged 91 cubic inch front-drive single seater set a closed course lap record of 148 MPH in 1928, a record that stood until after WWII. The few Miller cars that remain unquestionably represent the holy grails of prewar American racing cars for many collectors and the value for examples with racing provenance usually goes well into the six-figure zone (in the unlikely event an owner can be convinced to sell one). The appearance of 22 of Miller's fabulous creations at Amelia represents one of the largest such gatherings since the 1920s. While the cars could certainly be shown fully-clothed, our voyeuristic tendency leans more toward displaying the incredibly desirous Miller beauties in assorted states of undress and it is sincerely hoped no one is offended by such glorious automotive nudity. (photos and text Gregory Wells)
