Ford introduced the wrist twist steering for cars. "Introduced in 1965, despite better visibility, a roomier cabin and allowing you to drive with your arms on armrests it never went beyond the testing stage."


A 1932 American Bantam that was used for ferry service over the Pudding River in Oregon. The operator removed the tires and placed rubber bands on the rims for traction. Three cables were strung, two for the wheels and the third attached through the top of the car for stability. It was said that one gallon of gas was enough for 1500 trips across the 120 foot span.




The front nose wheel of the YB-35 flying wing. The XB-35 was to be decked out with an arsenal that included a 4,500-kilogram bomb load and seven powered turrets employing 20 mm cannons. What a freaky aircraft!

The Psycho house was one of the big draws of the Universal Tram Tour back in 1964, and continues to be the subject of much interest even now.
Over the years the house has been through a number of alterations and has even completely moved location twice after construction.
The Psycho house was built from a number of Universal’s stock units to save money. The front of the house and the distinctive tower was the same as that used in the “Harvey” house on Colonial Street.
Originally it consisted of just the left wall and the front of the house. In 1963 (photos below), the other side wall was added, and then in 1983, the rear of the house was added.
The house set has been moved three times since it was originally built.




Frank Lloyd Wright with his 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300B sedan (1956). He also had a 300SL Gullwing. These cars were given to Wright as part of his fee for designing an import car dealership on Park Avenue in New York for Max Hoffman-- as well as Hoffman's personal home in Rye, New York. Wright had a lifelong love affair with cars-he even took a stab at designing them at one time.
