This photo shows Barney Oldfield, posing in a somewhat tired Miller, on what appears to be the Legion Ascot Speedway. If you look closely at the first photo below, you can see where the frame has been welded together a few inches forward of the rear spring hanger. This leads us to believe that this car may have led a tough life and may have been crashed hard in the past. Hopefully one of our readers will be able to identify this Miller for us. The Old Motor photo.
I believe that is one of the Cliff Durant MILLERS, the one driven by Frank Elliot in the 1923 Indy 500. The louvers in the radiator shell are unique, so is the shape of the tail compaired to other MILLER race cars of that era.

Bill Castle had this very same louvered grill shell hanging on his garage wall above his Durant Miller.
