Old postcard of armless driver
Over at Swapatorium (world's best ephemera collector) there's an old picture postcard of Frank E. Fithen, who lost his arms in a railroad accident as a boy. Check out that specially made steering wheel!
LinkMr. Fithen since that time has accomplished many difficult feats, such as writing, dressing and undressing himself, swimming, bicycle and unicycle trick riding, and above all he operates, drives and controls his own 6 cylinder 60 horse power "Oakland" car. Fithen's best time to date is 58 miles an hour.
