This is a two-part series of articles that ran in the Saturday Evening Post in 1925. They are an autobiographical overview Oldfield wrote with the assistance of William Sturm. I judge some of this material to be inaccurate, not because Oldfield embellished (not that I put it past him), but because I think he simply forgot things.
There's a street in the town of Speedway, Indiana called Winton Avenue. I always wonder how many people pass through that intersection and know the namesake. Okay, probably nobody. Whether anyone cares or not, the answer is (drum roll) Alexander Winton. Why? Winton was one of the pioneers of the American automobile industry.
