Seldon invented, but never produced an automobile, but had the patent for a 4 wheel gas powered car. If the automakers(Ford and GM) had not prevailed on appeal, all car companies would have had their profits siphoned off to Sheldon and it would have crimped auto innovation. Ford was looking to cut his risk as farm implements were not covered and were potentionally more lucrative than the auto. In the days of limited paved roads, the car seemed like a rich mans toy.
