Sir Vival 1958 , In the late 50th century, tried to American Walter K. Jerome
creating the safest car in the world. The car was in two parts - the front section
containing the engine and the rear where the driver and passengers sat. His hope
was that the front section in a collision would take up crash forces while the rear
would remain intact. The front came from Nash and the rear was a modified Hudson
1948th P on it he built a tower to get maximum visibility around the car.

Nice '41 Plymouth^^

 

The SirVival was built in Massachusetts, my home state. Note the MASS plate. About 6 yrs ago I sold a Popular Mechanics or Popular Science where it was the cover/feature story to the builder's daughter.

 

No Russ,----I was 15 in that pix!---The cutie on the back was a WWII family friend, can't remember her name tho!
Couldn't manage 2 paper bags on my back with the Whizzer, so traded it in on a '48 Cushman for a year, then my first car was a '41 Chev.coupe in 1949.---Bought it from a school teacher for $500.00---Don

 

Don you are stroking us you couldn't have let something like that get away LOL

 

HA!---Yep, back then when my bike got "Motorized" with the Whizzer kit, I just knew it would do 50!!
Dad ran the old '41 Buick alongside me with passenger window down when I yelled "How fast are we going"?---He replied--35MPH!!!---That popped my bubble!---I swore we were doing 50!!!-------Don

OH----About the headlight stickers---Do you know the story???

 

HA!----You mean the Whizzer---Cushman---'41 Chev.----or the girl????

 

The girl of course
