The Ross Page Special was one of the few newly designed and built cars to race in the first Indy 500 after World War II. Manufactured by Los Angeles based Frank Kurtis, it featured a rear faring made of Plexiglas, a novelty for the day. The special is powered by a 183 cubic-inch Offenhauser engine for which noted engineer Leon Duray designed a large Roots-type supercharger. It was campaigned unsuccessfully in 1946, 1947, and 1948 then withdrawn from Indy competition. The donor later acquired the car, restored it, and briefly raced it in vintage events before donating it to the Petersen Automotive Museum.
