		We are driving down I-80 in Wyoming when all of a sudden Joe excitedly tells me to "quick, get the camera" when he spots an old Winton automobile slowly going down the interstate.
		Secondly, he decides to take a picture of the Winton automobile, which wouldn't normally be a big deal if he hadn't been driving the car at the same time.
		I was just a little scared, riding down I-80 with Joe simulataneously driving and taking pictures of a "slow-moving antique car" that was in the next lane.

	Alexander Winton
		Although Winton was known as an innovator, as the automobile industry became more competitive in the 1920s, his business was unable to compete. Every Winton automobile was custom made. Assembly lines made other companies' vehicles less expensive to build. In 1924, Winton stopped producing automobiles entirely.
		Although no more Wintons were built after 1924, Winton himself continued to be important in the development of both gasoline and diesel engines. Winton had established the Winton Engine Company in 1912, which later became known as the Winton Engine Corporation. In 1930, this corporation became a subsidiary of General Motors Corporation.
