Image description

In the spring/summer of 1903, H. Nelson Jackson completed the first transcontinental automobile trip in this car, the Winton touring car. While on vacation in San Francisco, Jackson, a physician from Burlington, Vermont, made a bet that a car could endure the grueling trip in less than 90 days. He purchased a slightly used Winton, hired mechanic Sewall Crocker to accompany him, stocked up on supplies, and took off for New York City. The trip took 64 days, including breakdowns, delays while waiting for parts to arrive, and hoisting the Winton up and over rocky terrain and mudholes.
