A Meskowski monoposto, built in 1960

Meskowski was an American chassis manufacturer in monoposto racing cars in the 1960s.

Two Meskowski racing cars competed in the Indianapolis 500 mile race in 1960 . Bob Veith achieved eighth place after 200 laps in his racing car powered by an Offenhauser engine. Bobby Grim finished sixteenth.

Eddie Sachs celebrated the first victory with a Meskowski in the USAC series at the championship run in Syracuse in September 1959. In the early 1960s, the company became one of the defining manufacturers of this racing series. Anthony Joseph Foyt won two championships with brands from Meskowski in 1960 and 1963 and with his victory in Du Quoin in 1967 was also the last race winner for this brand.
