Introducing our newest car, the 1932 Miller Four Wheel Drive Special! You’ve seen Miller rear-drives. You’ve seen Miller front-drives. But this is the only surviving Miller four-wheel drive. In 1931, Harry Miller pitched Wisconsin’s Four Wheel Drive Auto Company on a radical idea: four-wheel-drive race cars. The cars arrived just days before the 1932 Indy 500 with virtually no testing. In qualifying, the promise of Miller's four-wheel-drive design was unmistakable. Both cars were among the fastest in the field before mechanical trouble ended their races. The perception was that four-wheel-drive racing was a washout. After receiving a Miller 255 four-cylinder in 1934, the car finally delivered. It qualified third and led more than 60 laps at Indy before finishing ninth. In 1936, it drove to a fourth-place finish. Harry Miller was out over his skis, but he was also ahead of his time
