Artifact Overview
Leo Goossen relocated from Detroit to New Mexico for health reasons in 1919. It was a fortunate move. While west, he connected with race car designer Harry Miller in Los Angeles. The two became a formidable team, with Goossen's technical training complementing Miller's bold thinking. Goossen later partnered with Fred Offenhauser, another Miller associate, to design the successful Offenhauser racing engine.
