It is a piece of cake to find information about the history of automobiles. But have you ever thought about the way different auto parts had been created? Today this issue is quite topical because lots of car fans spend huge sums of money on custom auto parts. They want to be individual and noticeable. Car is more than just a means of transportation for them. Car is the way of life and its purport. But do they know anything about auto parts’ history?
Let’s start with AC. Lives would be really hard without the air conditioning system in cars. The first auto with this kind of system was Packard. This vehicle was built in 1940 and since that time air conditioning system has been installed in many cars. It was expensive and considered to be luxurious at first, but a bit later AC became widespread. As for the airbags or gas inflated cushions, they were invented and patented in 1968 in the United States by Breed. But many historians believe that the first airbags appeared as early as 1951. And this safety thing was introduced in the beginning of 70s by Ford first and GM a bit later.
These are only brief descriptions of some of the parts. But today something new is created daily even for used cars. And many men can’t imagine their cars without an HID kit or a quality audio system. It is just boring to drive a car that looks like a regular one. Customize your car, make history!
