Stevens started working for Harry A. Miller in 1922, building bodies, frames and fuel tanks for Miller race cars. In 1927, Frank Lockhart, the winner of the 1926 Indianapolis 500, hired Stevens to help create the body for Lockhart's Stutz Black Hawk land speed record car.[1]
After Lockhart was killed in that car while attempting a land speed record in 1928, Stevens established his own shop and continued building racecar bodies.[2] In 1930, the second through sixth-place finishers at the Indianapolis 500 all had Stevens chassis. He built cars for Indianapolis stars such as Louis Meyer, Wilbur Shaw, Peter DePaolo, Chet Gardner, Rex Mays and others. In 1955, one of his cars took pole position at Indianapolis.[3]
