Wade Morton

Indianapolis 500 veteran Wade Morton is seen at the wheel here in the 1920s. Morton competed in three "500s" with a best finish of tenth in 1923. The margin note indicates he was friends with heavyweight boxing champion Gene Tunney, which apparently was true. This rare snapshot is presented here thanks to the Paul Sheedy Collection.
