Description

Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of Oldfield smoking a cigar and leaning on a Plymouth automobile, signed in green fountain pen, "You know me, Barney Oldfield." In fine condition, with a few small creases, and some edge rippling. Oldfield found ways to stay in the public spotlight well after his last professional race in 1918. The showman attended and refereed racing meets, ran a tire company, drove a tractor faster than a mile a minute, and appeared in movies and on the radio. In the mid-1930s, Oldfield joined with Plymouth to promote the car's performance and safety features.
