Wow, just wow.

How does it work though? i was thinking it had a shaft on the back side of the rearend, but i dunno.

Neat huh?

 

I don`t know either but that`s sure trick!

 

Strange, but a wild idea. I guess the dude got tired of getting parked in.

 

Man that's neat as hell!! I could use one of those some days.......

 

Yet another piece of automotive history learned today by this Old Fart here on the HAMB.
If it was patented, I bet Bruce Lancaster will find it!

 

That was to cool. Thanks for posting it.

 

That was old technology at that time, I've seen video of the same type system on an early 30's car, during that period.

 

Here's what a quick Google found:


Automobile lifting and moving device - Patent 2708002

Retractable fifth wheel for tight parking spots; "Invented in the USA back in the 1950s by Irvin M Carpenter of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I wonder if this will stump Squirrel??

 

lol.."stump squirrel"

i could use that on a few cars around here. pretty cool

 

That's cool .I wonder if any cadillac owners out there have this option?

 

cool, I would like to find that caddy that would be to cool to drive. I would have the back wheel down going round and round.....LMAO

 

pretty cool idea. i hadn't seen that before. if i had that option, i could get one more car in my garage.

 

thats neato, I've never seen that before. sweet car too

 

Okies rule!!!!!!!!!

 

If you have the hydraulics to lift the car, you have enough to run a small motor and maybe gear set. My guess, anyhow.............slide
