Brad, these are correct.
DePaolo's 1927 car is a Harry Miller 91-c.i. (1.5-liters) with dual overhead cam, straight-8 cylinders using 32-valves, 4-valves per cylinder, and was supercharged, a very advanced engine for its time. It had front wheel drive, a unique concept at the time. It also had "in-board" brakes next to the FWD housing, lessening the aerodynamic profile of the brakes out at the wheels.
The Golden sub is all you said with the addition that is was the first car ever to use hydraulic front brakes.
It is now your turn !!!

Thanks Brad.
I have photos of the Miller after it was restored. It was a very cool car and ahead of it's time to bad it took another 20 years for rear engine to catch on at the speedway.
Here is the next photo.

While I realize that the history of Monaco is great, it has been a long while since the place was actually raceable by the likes of F1 cars.
