Oh how I wish car horns sounded like they did back then!

I don't know anything about Albert Mayer other than what he says starting at 18:20 in this vid, but he saw the future anarchy caused by solo transport. Somebody should have listened to that guy.

Oh you know, somebody would've thought that his vision is too much lefty-pinko bullshit. Much of humanity is close-minded.

it's weird knowing that people bought a car year after year back then, unlike now buying one then keeping it for many years

They also didn't finance them for 72 months back then, either. Of course, the price of the average car wasn't more than half the average American's annual income.

Car lasted way less then nowadays. Back then a 6 year old car was pretty much worn out. They all had 5 digit odometers.

I grew up in Quebec when this was made. A three year old car in the 1960's had big rust holes it it. Five years was considered ancient.

@@endoresu That's strange, considering how much better cars were built in those days. Even if the thing broke down it could be repaired by the owner with common tools, no need to hack an onboard computer or get a new set of plastic clips just to change a filter. Sure, better metal and paint chemistry helps prevent cars from rusting as fast but that technology peaked during the 1980s with galvanized body panels. If road salt was anything other than a car industry plot to shorten vehicle lifespans, we would see vehicles being made from galvanized or even stainless steel these days.
