Barney Oldfield Images

Images from Barney Oldfield's racing career. Many of these are items collected from photocopies of newspapers preserved on microfilm. Many of the original photos have been lost to the ages, so some of these images rescued in this manner may be all that remains. While the quality is inferior by today's standards, they still provide interesting information about Oldfield and the events he participated in.

Oldfield at the Wheel

This is a great shot of Barney Oldfield waiting at the starting line of the 1914 Los Angeles to Phoenix "Cactus Derby" on the Pacific Electric bridge on El Monte Boulevard in LA. Oldfield started fifth, and, as a result, his Stutz Indianapolis 500 racer was assigned number 5.
