MRsI JLEROY HEWLETT ' 945 Chemeketa, Owner -' Ttie-Anctloneer ....... Phone 510 or 611 Henry Ford is soon to be the proud possessor of "Old 999" the gasoline speed wagon in which Bar ney Oldfield won his first race and the first automobile to travel over a circular mile track in less than 0 seconds. ' Tbis is the word brought baca from Portland Wednesday by J. W. Harbison. Ford sales manager of the Motor company. Mr. Harbi son saw the veteran old fpeed vehi cle at the sales rooms of the William iinirhann Automobile comoanr. ord agents and was informed that the old relic of the day of flat track rac ing is soon to be shipped to aan frrancisco for further exhibition and thonrA smt . to become the property of the head of the Ford Motor com pany. Just whr Mr. Ford should be proud to be rated the owner of "Old 999" can be better understood when it is known that he was the designer of the veteran machine, which was ressurected recently from the chaos of a Los Angeles junk yam. "Old 999" was-' the forerunner of the highly perfected Ford car of to day, as was the machine which first starred Both Ford and Oldfield on the road to fame In motordom. It was constructed 18 years by Ford a3 his entry on the first auto race ever held in Detroit And took its place in history as It passed over the finieb line leading the. field. OldHeld pi loted the car in this first race and continued to do so for the following two years, during', which time he es tablished the record of covering a circular mile on a flat track in less than a minute. . While plainly demonstrating the great strides which have been made in the development when compared with the automobile of today "Old : ; , .? ?is ' " ' K.

"Old 999" is minus a crank care for the old reservoir, large oil cup fitting on to Ihe different bear ings which had to be tnrned down every fifty to seventy-five miles, to care for the lubrication. The differential systems also were unthought of. The old racer covered its fast miles and negotiated tha sharp curves without a differential.
