Car Parking Using The Spare Tire

[dipsydoodle]

A nice parallel parking system build in the 50's. A series of hydraulic pumps and gears makes it work in this 50's Cadillac

2. Thread title reminded me of a Whoopi Goldberg movie I saw recently - "Bogus"

Whoopi kept a fake fire hydrant in her car she left on the sidewalk so she'd always have a parking spot near her apt.

I wonder if any of those Cadillacs still exist?

I expect they had all sorts of problems as that would be a complicated (and expensive) option.

Of course there would be those that made the rear end go the wrong way I bet . . .

and why do they call it parallel parking anyways?

Parallel parking is a method of parking a vehicle in line with other parked vehicles.

Batteries hooked up "in-line" is called "in series", while those hooked up side by side is parallel . . .
