Figure 80. — The 2-cylinder 1903 Winton that made the first automobile trip 

 across the United States under its own power. 



The 2-seated body is of wood, with upholstery of tufted 

 black leather. The two side step plates are of iron, while 

 the four laminated fenders and the removable hood are 

 wooden. Side lamps, a single head lamp, and a bulb horn 

 were originally fitted but are no longer part of the equip- 

 ment. A spare tire is attached to the left side of the body, 

 though on the famous trip the spare was carried over the 

 front of the hood. None of the five tires are original, nor 

 were they used on any part of the trip. In the tonneau of 

 the car, covered with a tarpaulin, is much of the spare 

 equipment and tools that were carried on the trip. Figure 

 80 shows the car as it looks today.
