Alexander Winton in a "Bullet" Racer, 1901-1905
01
Artifact Overview
In addition to his own Cleveland-based Winton Motor Carriage Company, Alexander Winton had an unintentional hand in forming two other automobile firms. James Ward Packard's 1898 Winton so disappointed him that he established Packard Motor Car Company, convinced he could do better. Henry Ford's 1901 victory over Alexander Winton in an automobile race ultimately led to the founding of Ford Motor Company.
