I just googled Harvey Aluminum special. They were indy cars built and raced by Mickey Thompson in 1963 carrying this name.

At least one had a titanium frame. They were technologically interesting, they looked like unlimited hydroplane boats with places cut out for the wheels, had 13" rims and low profile Allstate (Montgomery ward's brand) tires when every body else was running 16 and 18" rims. He actually started the move to very low profile tires at least at INdy. The cars ran pushrod Buick v8s and were fairly fast.

In 1964 so many other car owners *****ed about the 13" tires that Indy outlawed them and he had to run 15" rims and it upset the handling of the cars making them very squirrelly. It was in one of these that Dave McDonald crashed to his death in the big race on sunday taking Eddie Sachs with him.

I was there that day with my dad and little brother standing in the infield inside the third turn. It was a pretty sick feeling when Jimmy Clark came around with nobody behind him and we looked over in turn four and could see this enormous black cloud rising above the accident scene.

Gasoline was outlawed after that race at Indy.
