Wade Morton

Wade Morton (born Ward Day, March 19, 1889 – February 22, 1935) was an American racing driver.

Morton competed in 17 American Championship Car races from 1922 to 1927 including 7 Indianapolis 500 races (three starts of his own and four drives in relief of others).

His best Champ Car finishes were a pair of seventh places on the Beverly Hills and Fresno board ovals in 1923.

[1] He was also a test driver for Auburn and an executive for Meteor Motors.

He was credited with designing Auburn's Cabin Speedster but it is likely that Albert Leamy did the primary design work.
