Wake Up With Jim, July 6

Like Studebaker, Deal and dozens of other pioneering automobile companies Patterson-Greenfield headquartered in Greenfield, Ohio was a manufacturer of carriages before diversifying with automobile production. But this was the only automobile company whose owner and founder had been born a slave.

This morning as we continue sharing tales of inspiration, America's storyteller author Jim Hinckley tells the story of America's most unique, and perhaps most overlooked, automobile company.
