In 1971, Carl Graham Fisher was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame, and in 1998, PBS produced a program about Fisher titled Mr. Miami Beachas a part of the American Experience series.

Carl Fisher’s legacies include promotion and distribution of an early form of headlights for motor vehicles in the U.S. auto industry, his early automobile dealership, the Indianapolis 500, and a national system of paved highways in the United States which followed the trends established by the National Auto Trails and the transcontinental east-west Lincoln Highway and the north-south Dixie Highway.
