There were some moments when they first took the Winthrop out on the horse carriage dirt roads leading to the dirt highway to Memphis when I could almost imagine the excitement that those first drivers felt. Then driving into Memphis in a brand new car, seeing most in horse carriages, seeing others driving their car on Sunday drives, and then seeing how much faster you could drive than the other cars. Steve McQueen did well.
