Origin[]

Carl Fisher was an American entrepreneur who promoted automobiles. He became rich by manufacturing headlights and operated the first car dealership in Indianapolis. Next, he successfully promoted the newly made Indianapolis Motor Speedway and racing culture. His interests in driving also included the creation of some of the first paved highways, which Dwight D. Eisenhower took note of and nationalized during his presidency. After his time working in the automobile industry, he moved to Florida real estate and became one of the richest men during the land boom. He later lost his fortune when the market burst and the Depression hit. Fisher retired to doing smaller jobs as a “poor man’s interest”.
