David (and all):

Yes, the car apparently still exists as part of a private collection.? It was on display in the IMS Museum back in 2011 as part of the 100th 500 Mile Race being run.? I could be wrong but I don't think it has been back since.

1934: Boyle Miller (Bill Cummings)
Car is part of the W.A. Goodwin Collection in Frankfort, Indiana, owned by William and Sonya Miller. It currently contains a prewar 255cid Offy. The Goodwin Collection is housed in the rear of the Goodwin Funeral Home, and is open for visiting daily, except when a funeral is in progress. There has been some mild dispute about the authenticity of the car. The collection includes a number of other important cars. In the spring of 2011 the car was included in the 100th Anniversary display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum.

?? Here's a list of the whereabouts of all of the 500 winning cars.? There are a couple on this list that likely aren't true and are disputed by historians but at least it's a start.

Can anyone please tell me if the Boyle Special that Wild Bill won the 1934 Indy 500 with is still in existence?
My second cousin Roy Unversaw rode with Bill that day and as we are approaching the 100th anniversary of that event I would like (IF I live that much longer) to ride around the track before the race that day.
Just asking
