Jules Devigne was a figure in the early automobile and racing business from around 1903-1917. His family history tells us that he like many, probably got his start as a chauffeur early on and it is known that he was a chauffeur for Harry Harkness whose father was connected with Standard Oil. Family history also has him traveling back and forth to Europe, as he supposedly was involved in racing there. Little is known of this other than American racing programs listing him as racing there around 1908.
