car, Barney Oldfeld started his
career of victories that later
earned him the title of Master

racing difficult and dangerous, he
studied tires-specihed materials
supervised construction.
Today, Barney Oldheld is known
as the Master Tire Builder"
Starting with the crude tires which
carried the "999' one mile in sixty
seconds, Oldheld gradually de-
veloped his famous Cords-a set of
which covered 800 miles at eighty
eight miles an hour without a
change.
In three years Old6eld tires have
won every important race on Amer
