Hopefully stashed amongst some long-forgotten Indian motorcycles!

Oh god, they’re pivoting to video. 

From 1921 to 1931, Rolls-Royce set up a satellite assembly plant in Springfield, Massachusetts... Maybe there are some in storage somewhere over there...

I have jalopnik currently muted.  What’s he saying?  

I have my money on Ponch and Jon.

Pentium? Lays? Chocolate? We need details, man!

I found a bag of chips in my storage shed while getting out my summer tires, not as good as this

That fright pig 3 wheeler Beetle lowered the bar for all future submissions. “At least it doesn’t have a homemade cow bone steering wheel” is a sad new standard. 

I don’t think I was ever going to say nice price on this one, but that steering wheel completely killed whatever interest I had in this thing.

a steering wheel for ants?!

Only thing I can guess is this car had very light steering, that might help mitigate that.  But yeah, that looks stupid AF.

While I think the obvious answer is physical switches instead of touchscreen hell, it is so obvious that I gotta choose something else. Tailfins.

Colors. Actual colors.

I’m not sure if it really counts as a car feature, but what about actually being cars? Probably 90% of the SUV market could be equally well served by a wagon (which would likely be better on gas), and yet more and more manufacturers are discontinuing cars entirely because nobody buys them any more.

From the GM full-size BOF-ers to the RAV4 to the MX-5 Miata, a number of cars in the past had a lap vent, which was located under the steering wheel and aimed at the driver’s lap. The most recent vehicle I’ve seen with one was the Land Rover LR4/Disco 4, which was last sold in 2016.

Back in the late 80s/Early 90s, Mazda’s had oscillating air vents.

Passive, flow-thru fresh air ventilation. My Focus doesn’t put out any air unless you turn on the fan. Old trucks had vents in the footwells on the kick panels. Old Hondas had vents in the dash you could open and close with a lever that would draw in fresh air from the cowl.

Crank windows. More reliable than power windows, much finer control over movements, and I don’t have to turn the ignition on to use it.

Turbo lag. Modern turbos don’t feel like turbos.  I miss the anticipation.
