Wade Morton
Wade Morton (born Ward Day March 19, 1889 Franklinville, New York – March 1935 Lakeland, Florida) was an American racecar 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.[2] He died in a road vehicle accident.[3]
