5 Minutes With Jim, Episode 88

If you were asked to compose a list of the ten men most responsible for the development of the American automobile industry, who would you include? Would it include Henry Ford and David Buick? Perhaps Walter Chrysler, Ransom Olds, John Dodge, Benjamin Briscoe, Louis Chevrolet, and Charles Nash would also make that list? Would it include A.W. Tobin and Ross Judson? For every pioneer that gained a dubious immortality with their name being emblazoned in chrome on a century of automobiles, there were hundreds that were condemned to obscurity. On this week’s program we give these forgotten pioneers a brief moment in the spotlight.
