    I believe this 1959 U. S. Grand Prix was the first and last time that an Offenhauser engine ran in a regular Formula 1 World Championship Grand Prix event. The Goossen engine in the 1960 Scarab was a 4 cylinder engine out of the Meyer-Drake-Offenhauser organization but I don't think it could be called an Offy because it had a desmodromic valve system. I also believe that it was not a fixed-head or 4-valve engine - other "musts" for an Offy.

    This is my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking
