1929 Mimille Race Car

The 1929 Mimille Race Car is a mysterious race car from the 1920s that features a front-wheel-drive chassis similar to a Miller, as well as a Ford Model A engine paired with a Roof Cyclone head featuring large 2-inch diameter overhead intake valves and two Winfield race carburetor.  

The chassis, potentially repurposed from a rear-wheel-drive race car, showcases a curved rear axle to lower the driver's seat. The "MIMILLE" Mystery Car stands as a rare and evocative artifact from a transformative era in American racing history.
