They would go on to break America’s land speed record in 1920 with with a twin-engine special built for Tommy Milton. The following year, Jimmy Murphy won the French GP driving a Duesenberg which was the first ever American GP victory. This set the trend for many more stateside accolades including taking the 1924 and 1925 Indianapolis 500s.
