The underlying chassis attributions, especially for 1930, remain disputed by specialist research. | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | On the block | 1 lots | | Top value | — | | Period | 1931– | [Explore models](https://hiconium.dev/manufacturers/stevensmiller#essential) [Manufacturer profile](https://hiconium.dev/manufacturers/stevensmiller#house-profile) ![Stevens-Miller — manufacturer stage](https://hiconium.dev/_derived/images/marques/stage/stevensmiller.jpg.w1920.q75.webp) Forthcoming lots ## On the block · Monterey Car Week 2026 1 forthcoming lot · Monterey 2026 The house ## Stevens/Miller: two Indianapolis wins under a contested result-sheet label From 1922 through 1926, Myron Stevens built frames, fuel tanks and bodies for almost all Harry Miller Specials, according to the IMS Museum. He then helped construct Frank Lockhart's Stutz Black Hawk land-speed car; after Lockhart's fatal 1928 crash, Stevens opened his own shop and continued building Indianapolis cars into the early 1950s. The 1930 Indianapolis rules opened displacement to 366 cubic inches, barred supercharging except for two-cycle engines and again required riding mechanics. In that year's official IMS results, Shorty Cantlon, Louis Schneider, Louis Meyer and Dave Evans are listed as Stevens/Miller in the Make/Model column; Bill Cummings, fifth, is listed as Stevens/Duesenberg. IMS records Louis Schneider's Bowes Seal Fast as Stevens/Miller in 1931: it started thirteenth, won at 96.629 mph and led 39 laps. Five IMS-listed Stevens/Miller cars started; the Jadson entered by Louis Meyer was classified fourth after a shared Stevens-Meyer drive. Schneider also headed the 1931 AAA Championship standings. Harry Miller filed for bankruptcy in 1933 and his company was acquired by Fred Offenhauser. In 1936, IMS records Louis Meyer's Ring Free as Stevens/Miller; Meyer won from twenty-eighth on the grid at 109.069 mph, leading 96 laps, for his third Indianapolis 500 victory. The official winners table records no later Stevens/Miller winner. Stevens's later work must be kept separate from the Stevens/Miller result-sheet label: IMS records Jerry Hoyt's 1955 pole car as Stevens/Offy. | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | Independent shop | After 1928 | | | IMS Museum says Stevens opened his own shop after Frank Lockhart's fatal Daytona Beach crash. | | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | Builder | Myron Stevens | | | IMS Museum credits him with frames, fuel tanks and bodies for almost all Harry Miller Specials from 1922 through 1926. | | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | IMS-listed 500 wins | 1931 and 1936 | | | Schneider won from thirteenth in 1931; Meyer won from twenty-eighth in 1936. | | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | 1931 field | Five IMS-listed starters | | | The official table lists Stevens/Miller entries first, fourth, twenty-second, twenty-ninth and thirty-fourth. | | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | Later Stevens work | 1955 pole | | | Jerry Hoyt took the 1955 pole in a Stevens/Offy constructed by Stevens, not a Stevens/Miller. | Selected milestones ### A bloodline, not a list. 1. 1922–1926 Miller Specials IMS Museum credits Stevens with building frames, fuel tanks and bodies for almost all Harry Miller Specials in this period. 2. 1928 Independent shop Following Frank Lockhart's fatal Daytona Beach crash, Stevens opened his own shop. 3. 1930 IMS lists Stevens/Miller The official result table lists Cantlon second, Schneider third, Meyer fourth and Evans sixth as Stevens/Miller; Cummings fifth is Stevens/Duesenberg. 4. 1931 Schneider wins the 500 IMS records Schneider's Stevens/Miller Bowes Seal Fast as winner from thirteenth, at 96.629 mph with 39 laps led. ChampCarStats lists Schneider as AAA champion. 5. 1933 Miller bankruptcy IMS Museum records Miller's 1933 bankruptcy and acquisition of his company by Fred Offenhauser. 6. 1936 Meyer's third 500 IMS records Meyer's Ring Free as Stevens/Miller, winning at 109.069 mph with 96 laps led. 7. 1955 Stevens/Offy pole Jerry Hoyt started from pole in a Stevens/Offy; IMS Museum identifies it as a car constructed by Stevens. What defines Stevens-Miller ### Result-sheet label Use Stevens/Miller only for the designation in IMS's Make/Model field, not as proof of an incorporated manufacturer or uniform component provenance. ### 1930 formula The 1930 rules permitted up to 366 cubic inches, prohibited supercharging except on two-cycle engines and required riding mechanics. ### Attribution remains contested Specialist research disputes several 1930 Stevens attributions, so individual chassis histories require car-specific evidence.
