Caballo de Hierro - Chrysler II
Did it in fact run, in which case how did it go?
Dear Ray
According to Janos Wimpffen´s "Time and Two Seats" (p. 237) there appear, as DNF car 524, Caballo de Hierro - Chrysler II (cat Sports Cars +2000) Akton Miller / Douglas Harrison. Reason for DNF : brakes
As how far did they go, they are the fourth retirement of the race (the first one being Moss/Jenks). Time is not recorded, but must have been quite early.
And then some words : "Ak Miller had raced a home built hot rod in the Carrera Panamericana. He returned to open road racing with the Caballo II, a large Chrysler engined car built on a Kurtis chassis. It was much more refined than his earlier creation, this one looking like a cross between a Cunningham and a Mercedes 300SLR. However, it was not suited to the Italian roads and retired in the early going".
No pictures, though.
Un abrazo
Felix
