Easy Parking With Side-Steering Car, 1932

Fords have been forced to do strange things in the past, but the honors for odd performances to date go to a machine, built by a Pontiac, Mich., mechanic, which can move sideways at an angle of 65 degrees, and thus make parking an extremely simple matter.

Designed by a Pontiac, Mich., mechanic to solve the parking problem, this rebuilt Ford has four steerable wheels, each powered from engine, permitting the car to be moved at an angle of sixty-five degrees and turned in its own length.

As demonstrated in the photo above, the machine has each of its wheels mounted on a steering hub, so that a turn of the steering mechanism operates all four wheels.
