In the past century car’s have undergone a huge evolution and often require Car Tech Explained. The 1922 Chevrolet 490 was the first car to have a factory built-in radio. While it never took off, so to speak, the first aerocar was built in 1949. It worked, but was only made into a prototype.
In 1957, thirsty and wealthy car owners could indulge in a few from a drinks cabinet built into the glove compartment. The Eldorado Brougham cost over $110,000 in today’s money. Bottoms up!
