Built in Chicago by brothers Max and Elmer Reichenbach, KB Special Midgets were just one of dozens of similar offerings for the burgeoning sport that was held at a variety of venues nationwide, including stadiums, horse racing tracks, and velodromes.

Acquired by Mark Smith in 2005, this historic Midget Racer carries an incredible period patina that gives a sense of history to the charming machine. This example is equipped with a Ford V8-60 engine that is fitted with rare Eddie Meyer cylinder heads and intake manifold, a Vertex magneto, and Stromberg 81 carburetors.

Worthy of continued preservation and static display, a new owner could also sympathetically mechanically restore this midget and have the best of both worlds.

*Please note that this Lot, like all vehicles in this Auction, has been in long-term static storage and may not be currently operational. It will require mechanical attention prior to any road use.
