10 of these cars were made in a joint effort between Preston Tucker, Edsel Ford, and Harry Miller. 5 were race ready in time for the 1935 Indy 500.
They had a design/engineering problem - the steering box was too close to the exhaust, and the heat caused the steering to seize. Read about it at http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2014/05/beautiful-loser-preston-tucker-henry-ford-harry-millers-1935-fwd-flathead-ford-indy-racer/
