Wacky Automotive Inventions
File these videos into the “It seemed like a good idea at the time” category. Here are a series of 20th century inventions designed to improve our lives as we drive (or scooter). As you'll notice, a couple of these inventions were actually put into production and some are being worked on today. But the majority are laugh-out-loud impractical and have rightly disappeared into the dustbin of history. Enjoy!

    Who could ever forget the "Whoa Nellie" flamboyant style of one of the 1950s most famous TV announcers known as Dick Lane. His car ads were marked by his passion to prove these cars were worth every penny and he would give one of them a hard slap to accentuate his sincerity. That was, until he accidentally dented one of the fenders. Classic! 🙂

    In response to those on here trying to run down the safety of these cars, i can verify that compared to the cars of today, THESE rides were all TANKS. I wonder what some of these "amateur safety critics" would say if they watched some vintage Jimmy Stewart movie about the Indianapolis 500, complete with actual footage of THOSE GUYS going over 150mph in OPEN COCKPIT ROADSTERS, racing on those BRICKS?! For a VARIETY of reasons, WAKE UP, YOUNGSTERS! 🙄

    • @ccgtvonline
      @ccgtvonline 11 месяцев назад

      Agreed. These classics were made of heavier gage metal and there was more metal surrounding the occupants. Today's cars are often about fuel economy and as a result are made lighter, smaller and with thinner metal. The result is a more dangerous car, in my view. As I see it, the only significant safety innovation in the automotive industry is the 3-point safety belt. That design really has made a difference in saving lives.

    That Edsel commercial is real funny. When that car came out and people would see it a block away, they would curse it and say how ugly it was. But then Ford pushed the Pinto and Explorer and Victoria Police Interceptor without any regard for human life or safety.

    "Modern cars look like electric razors". I heard that said in a movie. I don't remember the movie, but I remember that statement. I sure agree. Cars back then were really something to look at. Today, I have hotwheels cars that have more metal in them than real cars, and the styling was just incredible. Even the commercials were great.
