Cars In 1933 Had A Fully Working 5th Wheel
🤯 Believe it or not, people were experimenting with “smart parking” technology all the way back in 1933. This incredible vintage video shows a car equipped with a strange fifth wheel attached to the rear that could lower itself to the ground and swivel the vehicle sideways to help with parallel parking 🚗 The invention looks decades ahead of its time — almost like something out of a sci-fi movie — proving drivers have hated parallel parking for over 90 years 😂
