The End Of The ICE Age Is Near, Which Era Was The Most Inventive? | Carscoops carscoops
And try telling someone who grew up driving carsthat the first all-new post war designs of the late 1940s and early 1950s with their smooth bodywork, integrated fenders, hydraulic brakes, push-button starters, in-car radios, and available automatic transmissions and air conditioners weren’t wheeled space-ships, and they’d think you were mad.
If you’re an American who lived through the late 1950s and 1960s and watched first hand as cars went from making 150 hp , slashing quarter miles times from almost 20 seconds to 13-dead, you might argue that vehicles on your watch made a gigantic leap forward, if only in a narrow area. Or perhaps you think the 1980s and 1990s was a period of peak inventiveness. American cars got their act together after years in the doldrums, anti-lock brakes and airbags revolutionized safety, and front- and all-wheel drive formats allowed even average drivers to enjoy the titanic performance of carsand Nissan Skyline GT-R without scaring the hell out of themselves. Or at least not much.
What era do you think advanced the art of the automobile the most, and what is the single greatest technological advance we’ve seen in almost 140 years of the car? Leave a comment and let us know.
