1935 Miller 2-Man Seal Fast Special
By Dean Kirkland Tom Malloy, a seasoned collector with a discerning eye for automotive treasures, has always been transparent about his approach to acquiring vintage cars. "Auctions aren't really my scene," he often shared with fellow enthusiasts. "There's something about the directness of negotiating one-on-one with a seller that appeals to me. Plus, why should I pay an auction premium on top of the car's price?" While he generally avoids the auction circuit, there are exceptions to every rule. The 1935 Miller-Ford 2-Man Indy Seal Fast Special was one such exception. This exquisite racer, being the fifth in an exclusive series of just ten, represented a rare find in the automotive world. When it was announced that this car would be part of the 2003 auction, following the unfortunate demise of Joe MacPherson and the decision to liquidate his auto dealership's prized collection, Tom felt an irresistible pull. "Such opportunities are few and far between. This car isn't just a vehicle; it's a piece of art, a testament to the golden era of racing," Tom passionately expressed.
