December 1940 advertising of cool stuff that probably isn't even made any more, it certainly isn't advertised anymore
I've only ever seen one wheel spinner http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/you-are-rare-mechanic-car-enthusiast-if.html
In 1932 the Packard brothers, in order to deal with failing sales and the great depression, sold Packard Electric Company to General Motors who named it the Packard Electric Division.
Prior to that time, Packard Motor Car Company was a automotive wiring company founded by William Doud Packard and his brother James Ward Packard in 1890. One of the Packard Electric Company's subsidiaries was the New York and Ohio Company, which produced the first Packard Motor Car in 1899 in Warren, Ohio.
The electrical connectors developed by Packard were used extensively by General Motors in its automobiles. The first series of connectors was the Packard 56 (In 1956) , followed by the Weather Pack in 1970's, and finally the Metri Pack, which are still in common use today.
The Packard 56 is the grandfather of the modular electrical connector, the terminals fold over the conductor to form a high-pressure crimp that seals the conductor strands as a soldered joint does yet achieves a superior electrical connection than solder can. The terminals also alleviate strain on the exposed conductor with a secondary crimp that grabs the wire jacket. All 56-series connectors use 1/4-inch blade-type terminals that can handle as much as 48 amps continuously.
Thanks Andy!

interesting conversational debate... which country has been the greatest automobile producer? the London Classic Car Show held a poll to find out what voters thought, and didn't tell anyone outside England
Comparing ten truly iconic cars to represent the 6 historically major car making countries: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, USA and the UK
1st place
Great Britain / England was represented by the 1922 Rolls Royce Ghost, a 1925 Bentley 3-Litre, a 1935 Austin 7, a 1948 Land Rover Series 1, a 1964 Mini Cooper S, a 1964 Aston Martin DB5, a 1964 Jaguar E-Type Series 1, a 1970 Lotus 49, a 1976 Lotus Esprit, and a 1993 McLaren F1 GTR
Maybe Great Britain WAS the greatest car making country at one time, but now all of their marques are owned by foreign-based companies. Jaguar/Land Rover is owned by India-based Tata Motors, Mini/Rolls Royce by BMW, and Bentley by Volkswagen.
Italy took 2nd place
1932 Alfa Romeo 8C Spyder, 1955 Lancia Aurelia Spyder, 1964 Fiat D500, 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS, 1966 Alfa Romeo Duetto, 1968 Lamborghini Muira P400, 1977 Lamboghini Countach LP400. 1980 Maserati Khamsin, 1991 Ferrari F40, 1994 Lancia Integrale Evo II
The USA was in 3rd place
and represented by a 1915 Ford Model T, a 1942 Willys MB Jeep, a 1955 Ford Thunderbird, a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, a 1959 Cadillac DeVille, a 1965 Shelby G.T. 350, a 1967 Ford GT40, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, a 1968 Dodge Charger, and a 1968 Chevrolet Corvette, the United States finished third in the competition
Germany was in 4th
1937 BMW 327, 1955 Mercedes Benz 300S Coupe, 1955 Mercedes Benz 190SL. 1956 Volkswagen Beetle, 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster, 1973 BMW CSL, 1977 VW Golf GTI MK1, 1978 BMW M1, 1979 Porsche 911 turbo, 1985 Audi Sport Quatro S1 E2,
France was represented by the 1931 Bugatti type 46, 1933 Hispano Suiza J16, 1946 Delahaye 135M Graber, 1952 235MS Chapron Coupe, 1970 Alpine A110, 1971 Matra MS120, 1973 Citroen DS, 1980 Renault R5 Turbo, 1984 Peugeot 205 T16, 1990 2CV Charleston,
Japan in 6th
Next time they need to do a relay race; six countries, six pits, ten cars per country at ten laps per car

Blake found a forest stream in Iowa on the Meskwaki settlement banked with junkyard cars in the 50s or 60s
The govt tried to prison them on a res in Kansas, but they weren't going with that bullshit, and hid out in Iowa, eventually suing the govt to buy land and make their own settlement.

Putting cars on river banks was common, it was found to be a cheap way to reduce erosion. Trouble is, it pollutes the water running though, and by the cars, as the oils, grease, brake and transmisson oils leaked out into the ground. When the cars are washed by rains or river water the iron, chromium, and lead from solder and batteries gets into the river water.
I'm shocked no scrap metal guys have pulled these out and had them crushed. I'm not for crushing cars in general, but for river bank polluters, I'm strongly for it
