Miniature Race Car Gas Powered Miller 1930 Style

Offered by: Bizarre Bazaar

Description
A one of a kind miniature gas powered race car after a design by Harry Miller (1875-1943) a race car designer most active in the 1920's and 1930's. A beautifully crafted aluminum one of a kind sculpture. Hand hammered from sheet aluminum. Signed on the base by the builder. These cars can be raced and are capable of reaching speeds of over 60 mph. We are selling this as a decorative object for the office or home. If you do wish to run it, it should be operated only in a very controlled environment by someone experienced in operating this type of toy. This model has never actually been raced, it has an engine but lacks a fuel tank. The maker of this custom miniature was known to build these models for the owners of the real cars.
