Read it:

Clermont-Ferrand, Boston, Flint, Prineville and Salt Lake City, 1889 to 2009. Four businesses that never built a car and took their living from the people who did. André and Édouard Michelin sell a tire that comes off its rim by hand, then publish a guide telling drivers where to sleep. Albert Champion races bicycles in Paris, loses his own name to his investors in Boston, and carries his initials to Flint. Les Schwab buys a failing tire store in an Oregon lumber town and gives most of the profit to the men who run it. Larry Miller borrows against everything he owns for one Toyota franchise. Each of them is answering the same question the carmakers never quite settled: who owns the driver. Covers André Michelin, Édouard Michelin, Albert Champion, Les Schwab, Larry Miller, Michelin, Champion Ignition Company, AC Spark Plug, Les Schwab, and Miller's.
