They Had This in 1955? 8 Forgotten Luxury Features

Pull up a stool. Pop's been working on these since before you were born. In 1955, if you were sitting in the right Cadillac, you had a headlight dimmer that worked by itself, a self-leveling suspension that the Germans wouldn't catch up to until the 1980s, and a seven-inch record player built into your dashboard playing Sinatra on the way to dinner. Tonight Pop walks you through eight luxury features that were sitting in the 1955 showroom — features most folks today assume were invented in the 1990s. Every one of them has a price tag in 1955 dollars, a translation into modern money, and the specific reason it disappeared. 🏁 Subscribe and pull up a stool. Pop's got the floor. ‪@popsvintagegarage‬ Chapters: 0:00 Pop pulls up a stool 0:40 #8 — Buick Easy-Eye Tinted Glass 1:55 #7 — Cadillac Autronic Eye 3:10 #6 — Continental Mark II Standard A/C 4:25 #5 — Packard Torsion-Level Suspension 5:40 #4 — Lincoln Premier Dashboard Shaver 6:55 #3 — Imperial Power-Seat Memory 8:10 #2 — Eldorado Vacuum Ashtray 9:25 #1 — Chrysler Highway Hi-Fi #vintagecars #1955cars #classicluxurycars #automotivehistory #classiccars #popsvintagegarage
