- The eBay rear-engine roadster (#6524455176) certainly resembles one of Ak Millers old creations to my eye. I seem to remember several photos in hot rodding books that picture this roadster. Unfortun

- I am reasonably certain that this was not Ak's roadster. Ak gave me his roadster to run in 1958. Ak's cars performed very well, but generally were not show pieces. The roadster on eBay could have be

- Thanks Glen. I am surprised, this car looks much better than most of the cars that I have seen that Ak built. It doesn't seem to be the same car I got from Ak. Of course, the one I had was run at the

- It was a pretty nice car when 1st built. In later years it showed the wear and tear. Lots of history to dig into but I really enjoy it. Glen -- Original Message -- From: "Thomas E. Bryant" <saltracer

- Thanks for the kind words, but I evidently was wrong on my assumptions about this car. It seems that Fred Larson ended up with this car and is the one he crashed in 1959. The car I got from Ak was a

- According to an article that Tom Burkland forwarded to me, Fred Larson purchased the car and installed a Chrysler in it. This is the car he crashed in 1957. The car I got from Ak was a later front e

- I grew up about a mile from his Whittier Blvd. shop and he was one of my hero's also. By the way, the Devin was his wife's car that he kept stealing from her to race. At least that was her story and
