American race car designer and builder Harry Miller will be celebrated at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, scheduled for March 8-10th in Amelia Island, Florida.<\/p>\n

The 18th annual Amelia Island Concours d\u2019Elegance will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Miller\u2019s first win in the Indianapolis 500. Harry Miller\u2019s brilliant and jewel-like \u201c122\u201d racing car won the first of eleven victories by Miller cars and engines in America\u2019s greatest race.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people talk about Harry Miller\u2019s work, the word genius always surfaces,\u201d said Bill Warner, Founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours d\u2019Elegance. \u201cAfter seeing his work up close it\u2019s easy to understand why.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harry Miller\u2019s attention to even the minutest detail was stunning. He was obsessive about quality. Even the smallest components of his cars, engines and carburetors were finished to jewelers\u2019 standards, even when no one, not even the customer, would see the finished products of his dedication to excellence and mechanical perfection.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored to have Dana Mecum, the President of The Friends of Harry Miller, as a part of our Miller celebration for 2013,\u201d said Warner, \u201cThey organize the spectacular Millers at Milwaukee meet on the Milwaukee Mile every July. He\u2019s bringing the only Miller V-16. His guidance and enthusiasm have been invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warner expects at least a dozen rare Miller racers at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d\u2019Elegance, including one of only five \u201ctwo-man\u201d V-8 Miller-Fords designed and constructed for Ford Motor Company\u2019s assault on the Indy 500 in the mid-1930s.<\/p>\n

Miller\u2019s designs endured, outliving their creator. After bankruptcy during the Depression Miller\u2019s shop foreman Fred Offenhauser purchased the business and continued to develop Miller\u2019s engine under the Offenhauser name perpetuating Miller\u2019s Indianapolis legacy. The Miller-derived four cylinder Offenhauser \u201cOffy\u201d engine went on to win 25 Indianapolis 500 mile races and remained competitive a century after Harry Miller\u2019s birth.<\/p>\n

The 2013 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance will be held March 8-10th on the 10th and 18th fairways of The Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach adjacent to The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island. The show\u2019s Foundation has donated nearly $1.8 million to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, Inc. and other charities on Florida\u2019s First Coast since its inception in 1996.<\/p>\n
