The best car innovations?

VW's had the semiphores too. I don't know about American cars. I think we just used hand signals.....and sometime not nice ones.

 

Boy scouts used the two-finger salute! The one-finger salute came with 6 lane traffic circles in France and Italy, and then exported to North America. The Brits automated the One-Finger and made it socially acceptable - shrewd eh?

 

Hummm. I guess it could count as an inovation then.....

You must include it on the list. The long fingered salute!

 

oh sure

I was gonna say...The Tucker...everyone just copied it!!!!!!!!!!!
1st with safety belts, safety glass, the list is endless!!

if youve never watched the movie 'TUCKER'...do it!!

 

It's a heck of a movie. The same lead actor played the CEO of the Avro Arrow flick. Both heart-breakers and victims of their industries. My grandfather was a Purchasing Agent at Avro.

 

CURBFEELERS fashionable and functional!!!

 

Whatever happened to them anyhow? I want some. Cheap of course. Ha!

 

I think they still sell them up here. I'll check around. They wouldn't be much good in a snowbank, though. Maybe in a desert sand-drift!

 

Norm, We do have curbs here although sometimes they do fill up with sand on windy days.

Curb feelers would look good with the chrome tail pipe tip. They'd go on the right and balance it out.

 

Does yours list to the left with that chrome tip?

A desert schooner, indeed!

 

The Germans only use their right arm

 

Mustache on the pinky or the index finger?

 

Nobody paralell parks anymore. In Florida, the drivers license exam doesn't require it anymore.
And the clamps that hold them on won't work on most modern cars.
When I go to car shows, more than once I have heard a young person ask about the clear plastic, dash mounted prisms on the '50s cars.
If you know what they were used for, you're old.

 

I do remember!

 

if you notice on the rear fender... AHUM......
yeah buddy curb Feelas!
