The Winton Motor Carriage Company was a pioneer United States automobile manufacturer based in Cleveland, Ohio.

In May of that year, the 10 hp (7.5 kW) model achieved the astonishing speed of 33.64 mph (54.14 km/h) on a test around a Cleveland horse track.

However, the new invention was still subject to much skepticism , so to prove his automobile's durability and usefulness, Alexander Winton had his car undergo an 800 mi (1,300 km) endurance run from Cleveland to New York City.

More than one hundred Winton vehicles were sold that year,[1]: 23  making the company the largest manufacturer of gasoline-powered automobiles in the United States.

He produced the 1902 Winton Bullet, which set an unofficial land speed record of 70 mph (110 km/h) in Cleveland that year.

[4]: 156  On a $50 bet (equal to $1,696 today), he purchased a slightly used two-cylinder, 20 hp (15 kW) Winton touring car and hired a mechanic to accompany him.

The trip lasted 63 days, 12 hours, and 30 minutes, including breakdowns and delays while waiting for parts to arrive (especially in Cleveland.

[7]) The two men often drove miles out of the way to find a passable road, repeatedly hoisted the Winton up and over rocky terrain and mud holes with a block and tackle, or were pulled out of soft sand by horse teams.

Jackson and his partner followed rivers and streams, transcontinental railroad tracks, sheep trails, and dirt back roads.

Winton continued to successfully market automobiles to upscale consumers through the 1910s, but sales began to fall in the early 1920s.

[13][14] Winton and Cleveland engines were used widely by the U.S. Navy in World War II, powering submarines, destroyer escorts, and numerous auxiliaries.
