Underlying the tsunami of interest that fueled the transformation of the automobile from novelty to daily transportation was the excitement, the allure of racing and motoring sports.

Before Nissan and Toyota challenged the dominance of Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler in the United States auto industry, it was a legion of smaller manufactures that vied for a share of the market. A few such as Peerless, Willys Overland and Auburn were never able to be counted as serious contenders. Others, however, claimed a serious market share and pushed the envelope for technological innovation.
On this episode of 5 Minutes With Jim, author Jim Hinckley takes a quick and surprising look at the contributions of the independent auto manufacturers.
