Learning to drive and getting your first car was a significant milestone, making it bittersweet to reflect on the changes. This video revisits some of my previous videos, compiling them into a more extensive and comprehensive presentation.

    I don't know which but some car maker put tape player symbols on the pedals for manual trans., "Pause, Stop, and Play." LOL

    Stand up hood ornaments were subject to thieves. They made nice necklaces.

    lol I remember the "wood". It was vinyl applied over the chrome with a decal in between. What I thought was great was GM's Wonder Bar radio of the early 60's. It was simply a small motor that would rotate the tuner knob until a signal strength (2 levels of strength) to find the next radio station. It was useless if you were in town but great if you traveled outside your preset station location. In later years it was duplicated with circuits, but it was fun to watch the dial scroll across... a brilliant feature that few ever saw.

    cars of the seventies had a choke whent starting the engine cold

      All carburetors have chokes. Early ones were manual. Later were auto-magic. I'm pretty sure 70s cars went full auto, unless it broke!

      I was just a kid, but I'm pretty sure I remember my father's Corvair having a manual choke. It was the mid sixties, so I could be misremembering.

    Bench seats were fantastic during my high school years. We could fit three in the front and four in the back for trips to the beach or movies. No, it wasn't safe and no, nobody cared.

    But the station wagons had plastic panels that looked like wood.

    • @dmonat
      @dmonat Před 2 dny

      Yeah, I'm not sure if any were real wood since the '50s. Our '65 Country Squire had plastic decals. I guess kids call it a wrap. LOL

    They will never get rid of door keys. Car batteries will always die, so we need another way to gain entry.

    Vent windows were great until you hooked a bee.

    Jaguar's Leopard!??! Say what?

    • @SuperChaoticus
      @SuperChaoticus Před 2 dny

      Haha. Nice catch. You know, like Ford's Donkey and the Dodge's Goat.

    I had a Bobcat, hatch back with wood panels!

    Some early Saturns had automatic seatbelts.

    Never heard of button tufting in car seats.

    • @dmonat
      @dmonat Před 2 dny

      Yup. Specifically, my 1980 Buick Century POS edition!

    The script of this video is an incohesive mess of wrong and twisted conclusions. Don't ruin a decent concept for a video with AI. Let a human right a script. Wood paneling was a sticker for decades before it fell out of fashion, it never "rotted". And third row seating didn't 'give way to spare' tires, minivans and eventually SUVs just did it better.

    I own a 2020 Venue that's a 6 speed standard shift.

    Landau roofs remind me of hearses.

    • @dmonat
      @dmonat Před 2 dny

      Chrysler used to have fiberglass shell caps that covered the rear window with a different one. The 80s New Yorker, for instance, had a tiny limo window and a thick landau top. Underneath the embellishments, it was an Dodge Aspen.

    How do they make seatbelts for the middle passenger in the back seat? If they can’t make seatbelts for the middle passengers in the front seats?

    • @dmonat
      @dmonat Před 2 dny +1

      They did put center belts in many cars with bench seats. Standard transmission may not include them! 🤣😂🤣😂

      Three point belts in the back seat came later in legislation. When they did, they could mount to the rear deck, or into the ceiling for the back seat. I'm pretty sure lap belts in the front seat-middle, were a thing for quite a while. Mandatory seat belt laws came much later than belt requirements.
