1929 Packard Cable Special Indy Car

1929 Packard Cable Special #18 driven by Ralph Hepburn - Václav Zapadlík 

Twelve of the cars in the 1929 Indianapolis 500 were front wheel drive. Of the 33 cars in the starting field only half a dozen were not Miller cars.

Miller 91 Packard Cable Special race car

The engine in this car was a supercharged straight eight with dual over head camshafts. It only displaced 1.5 liters which is the same as 91 cubic inches, hence the 91 label. Pistons were only two and a half inches in diameter. Simanaitis Says has more information about the engines and the superchargers.
