Funny- automobile ideas/inventions that never took off

Some of this stuff is UNBELIEVABLE

Thanks for the post...

 

Thank's for cool pictures of odd ball car stuff. Very cool

 

I worked at a bus fleet in the 60's that had that. 50 feet of airline with a blow gun. Coffee cups, cig butts, even the newspapers out the door and thru the fan. They had 140 buses there and would do them all down the cleaning/fuel line in th 8 hour night shift.

1932 Helicron Propeller Car

 

Execellent reading and can bring a tear to a glass eye. Still ROFLMAO

 

Funny, but think about some of those... the hydrogen/electrolysis powered car, the manure powered one... we're STILL toying with those ideas.

And how much would you kill for a set of those skull-branded violator's plates?

 

Sadly this is on the market today. It shows how low lazy lardass Americans have gone

 

Neat post! I'm intrigued by that X shaped engine with no crankshaft and roller bearing pistons!

 

those are pretty cool

There is a drive-in theater in my neck of the woods. When it opened in the late 60's, it had a/c vents that hung off the speakers that you put in the window. Good idea, too bad it didn't work. The driver was the only one that got any air from it and it wasn't enough to do any good. The system was only kept in place for a short time. Fred

 

Ah yes, the Suck-U-Bus.

 

...which leads me to... the canna-bus!
