In the period from 1,950 to 1,973, the world economy grew strongly and steadily. Never in the history of world GDP had grown so much in so little time, and as a result of this economic boom, led by the United States, the demand for new and better products in developed countries multiplied.

The automotive industry was no exception, and during that time, especially in the first half, tried hundreds of clever inventions to improve the car, more or less successful, of course.

We can see in the video is one of those inventions. "With cars becoming ever larger and smaller parking spaces" found it increasingly difficult to park our car and a California company he thought he could improve the situation.

The solution was to install a fifth wheel perpendicular to the other, on which the car could pivot, allowing the turning radius was much smaller. Moreover, the gadget could be installed on any model.

As we can see, the invention works. The car maneuver in less space and "even the worst driver would be able to park your car in a garage inaccessible. " Nonetheless maneuver with this system does not strike me as easy, if not being told the end of the video driver that does not happen for a short wall.  In the 50 attendees also had parking

Whatever the reasons why the system failed to catch on (the price of installation, reduced load capacity ..), the truth is that it's really funny how 60 years ago, the auto industry sought to improve their models with the tools at their disposal.
