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 Tires

Shortly after Barney Oldfield retired from driving race cars, he established a racing tire business with Harvey Firestone. Called "Oldfield Tires," the obvious hope was that the considerable equity America's first auto racing star had built up in his name would yield great business results.
