PROJECT DESCRIPTION

"Famous But Forgotten" is a non-fictional chronology of the life of Alexander Winton. As owner of the Winton Motor Company he defined the automobile industry at the turn of the century. Today, there are many innovations on autos, procedures at dealerships, and performance records that Mr. Winton established 100 years ago.

Why then is it that practically nobody knows his name?

But the real drama behind this icon of industry is not in his corporate prowess.it's in his personal life. His wives, his lifestyle, his personality are quite a story. A real and untold story.
