Izesekeli zemoto zakudala eziyinqaba ongeke uzibone namuhla

Izimoto zihambe ibanga elide ekusungulweni nasekuklanyweni eminyakeni engama-70 edlule. Izimoto namuhla zifakwe izici ebesingeke sizicabange ngeminyaka yawo-1960 nama-70s. Ngaleso sikhathi, abakhiqizi bezimoto baqala ukuthuthukisa imiqondo yezesekeli zemoto ezizokhanga umthengi. Akuyona yonke into eyenza umqondo, njengetafula elincane eligoqwe esihlalweni esingaphambili. Kodwa kufanele unikeze iGeneral Motors nabanye abakhiqizi bezimoto isikweletu ngokucabanga ngaphandle kwebhokisi ngalezi zinsiza zemoto zakudala ongasoze wazibona ezimotweni namuhla.

Ikhava yemoto ye-Vinyl eguqukayo

Lesi sivalo se-vinyl trunk savela njengenketho ku-General Motors eguqulwayo iminyaka eminingana ngawo-1960. Yenzelwe ukuvikela ingaphakathi lemoto othulini nasekukhanyeni kwelanga ngesikhathi umshayeli engemuva kwesondo.

Isivalo sasibanjwe endaweni ngama-latches axhuma isivalo emakhoneni ahlukahlukene e-convertible. Uhlangothi lomshayeli lungahlukaniswa ngokuqaqa uziphu. Akunzima ukubona ukuthi kungani le nketho yesisekeli semoto ingaqhubekanga.

Ama-turntables ezimotweni ayeyinto

Ngaphandle komsakazo, abakhiqizi bezimoto ngawo-1950 babecabanga ukuthi abashayeli bangase bafune ukulalela amarekhodi abawathandayo lapho beshayela. Lo mqondo awukacatshangwa ngokugcwele.

Abadlali bezimoto bebenqunyelwe kuma-singles angu-45 rpm futhi bebedinga ukuphendulwa njalo ngemizuzu emithathu ukuze baqhubeke nokulalela. Lo mkhuba wezinsimbi zezimoto wawuhlala isikhashana e-US kodwa waqhubeka e-Europe kwaze kwaba ngawo-1960.

Uma ungenalo igaraji, thola igaraji eligoqekayo

Ngeminyaka yama-50s nama-60s, abanye abashayeli banquma ukuthenga igaraji eligoqwayo ukuze limboze futhi livikele imoto yabo eduze nasekhaya. Ngaleso sikhathi, babengebaningi abantu ababenamagaraji, futhi lena kwakuyindlela yokugcina izimoto zabo ezibalulekile zisesimweni esihle.

I-FT Keable & Sons ithuthukise igaraji eliphathwayo "elingangeni manzi, elingasindi futhi kulula ukulithwala", ngokwesikhangiso sakudala. Yaklanywa ngosayizi abayisikhombisa abahlukene futhi yayilula kangangokuthi "ngisho nengane yayikwazi ukuyisebenza!"

I-shutter ye-radiator izoshisa injini ngokushesha

Akukholakali ukuthi sesihambe ibanga elingakanani ekwakhiweni kwezimoto kusukela ngeminyaka yama-50s! Ngaphambi kokujova uphethiloli kanye namafeni e-thermostatic, izimoto zazithatha isikhathi eside ukufudumala phakathi nezinyanga ezibandayo.

I-Aircon iklame lesi sivalo serediyetha ukuze sisize ukugcina injini yemoto ifudumele futhi ifudumale ngokushesha. Abasebenzisi banamathisele ingxenye ku-grille yemoto futhi bayikhipha ehlobo. Awujabuli yini ukuthi asisawadingi?

Izibonisi zelanga zangaphandle zazisetshenziswa kakhulu ngeminyaka yama-50s kanye nama-60s

Cishe yonke imoto namuhla ifakwe ama-sun visors angaphakathi umshayeli nomgibeli ongaphambili abangawadonsa ukuze bangangeni. Kodwa kusukela ngo-1939, abakhiqizi bezimoto bakha imisebe yelanga yezimoto namaloli. Abanye abashayeli baphinde bababiza ngokuthi "ama-canopy".

Ama-Visors abe yinto yokuzikhethela ezinkampanini ezimbalwa zezimoto ezihlanganisa iFord neVauxhall. Namuhla, abanikazi abaningi bezimoto zakudala bagqoka lesi sisekeli sesitayela.

Ibhokisi lethishu elimnandi

AbakwaGeneral Motors baqale ukubheka ezinye izesekeli abangazifaka ezimotweni zabo ukwenza abashayeli bakhululeke. Maphakathi nawo-1970, ezinye izimoto zePontiac neChevrolet zazine-tissue dispenser njengesisetshenziswa.

Kodwa kwakungelona nje ibhokisi lezicubu. Aklanywe ngezitayela eziningi, lawa mabhokisi ezicubu enziwe asuka ku-aluminium anophawu lwe-automaker ukuze kugcinwe ubuqotho bedizayini yangaphakathi yemoto.

Isidlali samathrekhi angu-8 sifakwe esihlalweni esingemuva

Cabanga nje kufanele ufinyelele esihlalweni esingemuva ukuze ushintshe ivolumu yomsakazo noma isiteshi semoto yakho. Cishe akunakwenzeka ukwenza lokhu ngenkathi ushayela. Kuzodingeka ukhiphe isandla esisodwa esiteringini, welule ingalo yakho iqonde emuva bese uzama ukuzulazula kumadayeli ngokungaboni. I-General Motors yeqa le nketho yesisekeli semoto, eyanikezwa kusukela ngo-1969-72.

Amanye ama-Pontiac aklanywe ngesidlali samathrekhi angu-8 esasitholakala emhubheni wokudlulisela esihlalweni esingemuva semoto. Ideshibhodi yemoto yaklanywa ngaphandle komsakazo engqondweni, futhi ngesizathu esithile kwaba yisinqumo sikaGM.

Itende le-GM hatchback yethulwa njengoba abantu abaningi baseMelika beyokhempa

Maphakathi nawo-1970s, i-GM yathuthukisa umqondo wokuklama itende le-hatchback futhi yawethula kuma-Oldsmobile, Pontiac, kanye ne-Chevrolet marques. Umenzi we-automaker uthuthukise itende le-hatchback njengoba abantu abaningi baseMelika bamisa amatende ngeminyaka yawo-70s.

Umqondo wawuwukuba nenketho yokonga yokukhempa imibhangqwana nemindeni efuna ukuhamba ngempelasonto ngaphandle kokuchitha imali eningi. I-"Hatchback Hutch" inikezwe eceleni kweChevrolet Nova, Oldsmobile Omega, Pontiac Ventura, neBuick Apollo.

Uma uke wasizwa isidingo sokushefa emotweni, qhubeka ufunda!

Amapikiniki ayedumile

Ngawo-1960, ukushayela imoto kwakumnandi futhi kuphumule ngezimpelasonto. Izithandani, abangani noma imindeni ingapakisha bese ingena emgwaqeni. Ngemva kokuvakashela izindawo, kwakuvamile ukuthola ipaki noma utshani ukuze ube nepikiniki.

Kwezinye izinhlobo zezimoto, kungase kwengezwe ubhasikidi wepikiniki owenziwe umenzi wezimoto. Yayinakho konke okudingayo ngosuku lokuphumula ngaphandle.

I-Pontiac Ventura yayinophahla olusongwayo lwe-vinyl.

Ngenkathi ukuduma kwama-sunroofs kuqala ngeminyaka yawo-1970, u-Pontiac wasungula lo mqondo. I-automaker iklame i-Ventura II nge-vinyl sunroof ephendukayo ukuze iveze uphahla lwama-25" x 32". Yayibizwa ngokuthi "i-Sky Roof" ku-Ventura Nova kanye ne-"Sun Coupe" e-Skylark.

I-sunroof iphinde yaklanywa nge-deflector yomoya ekwazi ukumelana nesimo sezulu. Ngeke ubabone emigwaqeni.

Imishini yokuhlanza izimoto ithengiswa ngemoto yakho

Esinye isisetshenziswa semoto yakudala ongeke usasithola njengenketho kumdayisi ivacuum cleaner eyenzelwe imoto yakho ngokukhethekile ngumkhiqizi wemoto. Phela awufuni ukumosha ingaphakathi lemoto yakho entsha, akunjalo?

Abanikazi bezimoto bazigqaja kakhulu ngokuthi izimoto zabo zahlala zingenasici ngeminyaka yama-50s kanye nama-60s. Izocabangani ngawe intombi yakho uma uyilanda ngemoto ewubhuqu?

Amanye amamodeli we-Pontiac kusukela kuma-50s akhiqizwa nge-razor kagesi yase-Remington

Ungathola le-razor kagesi yase-Remington njengesisetshenziswa samamodeli we-Pontiac maphakathi nawo-1950. AbakwaGeneral Motors banikeze insingo ngemoto, becabanga ukuthi izoba usizo kubathengisi.

Isishicileli sixhumeka kusikilidi semoto esilula ukuze sithole amandla, okuyinketho esheshayo nelula. Iphinde yengeze ubukhazikhazi emotweni kubathengi abebekuloluhlobo.

Ngaphambi kokufika kokubamba nokushisa, amagilavu ​​okushayela ayevamile.

Kuze kube yiminyaka yawo-1970, kwakuyisiko ukuthi abashayeli bagqoke amagilavu ​​okushayela ngenkathi beshayela. Namuhla kungaba yinqaba kakhulu uma umngane wakho egqoka amagilavu ​​okushayela ngaphambi kokuba aqale imoto, kodwa kwaba njalo!

Ukuphepha kanye nemfudumalo yizona zizathu eziyinhloko abashayeli abagqoka amagilavu. Kodwa ngasekupheleni kwawo-60s, izimoto eziningi zathuthukiswa ngezinhlelo zokushisa ezisebenzayo namasondo okuqondisa ngokubambelela okufanele, okwenza lo mkhuba uphelelwe yisikhathi futhi ungadingeki.

Abashayeli bezimoto bebengakwazi ukuthenga amadayeli engeziwe ukuze ashayeke kudeshibhodi yabo

Ngama-50s kanye nama-60s, izimoto zaphuka kaningi. Izinsimbi zazingafundi kahle njalo ezinye izimoto zazinenkinga kagesi. Ngokuvamile izinsimbi zaziguga ngaphambi kokuba ezinye izingxenye zemoto ziguge.

Yingakho ezinye izimoto zibe nenketho yokuthenga ukudayela okwengeziwe. Esikhundleni sokuyisa imoto kumakhenikha, abanikazi bezimoto bangafaka enye egalaji elingenaphutha esikhundleni sokudayela okusha egaraji lasekhaya.

Umsakazo we-Sports transistor AM

Enye insiza yemoto esingakaze siyibone iduma umsakazo, ongase ususwe kudeshibhodi yemoto. I-Pontiac inikeze amakhasimende leli thuba ngo-1958 ngokwethula umsakazo we-Sportable transistorized AM.

Umsakazo ungena kudeshibhodi yemoto, lapho udlala khona ngezipikha zemoto kanye nesistimu kagesi. Uma ukhishwa futhi uthuthwa, umsakazo usebenza ngamabhethri awo. Zisekhona izingcezu ezimbalwa ezithengiswa ku-eBay namuhla.

Iphampu Yomoya Esheshayo KaPontiac Ingagcwalisa Amathayi Akho Ebhayisikili

Ngo-1969, uPontiac wasungula umqondo wepompo yomoya esheshayo. Ngaphansi kwesivalo semoto, iphampu yayixhunywe echwebeni enjinini. Ingabuye isetshenziselwe ukufutha amathayi ebhayisikili, omatilasi bomoya, nanoma yini oyidingayo usuku epaki noma ogwini.

Lesi sisekeli semoto esingajwayelekile besingekho kuwo wonke amamodeli e-Pontiac futhi akucaci ukuthi bangaki abantu abasebenzise iphampu.

Itafula elincane lesihlalo sakho sangaphambili

Wake wahlala emotweni wacabanga, “Ngifisa sengathi ngabe nginetafula lapha”? U-Braxton ucabange ukuthi abashayeli bangase bayidinge futhi wanquma ukwenza isesekeli sedeskithophu sezimoto. Ikhiya kudeshi futhi iyagoqa ukuze ukwazi... yenza noma yini oyifunayo.

Lokhu kufanele kube ngesinye sezesekeli zemoto yevini eyisiphukuphuku futhi yangaphandle kakhulu kulolu hlu. Kodwa, ngesinye isikhathi abantu bazithenga!

Kuqale kwaba nomsakazo wemoto

Ngaphambi kokuba kube nomakhalekhukhwini, kwakukwazi ukufaka i-radiotelephone kwezinye izimoto. Eyokuqala yavela eLondon ngo-1959.

Umkhuba waqhubeka phakathi nawo wonke ama-60s. Izingcingo zazisebenza ngocingo lomphakathi, futhi umshayeli ngamunye wayenenombolo yakhe yocingo. Amafoni ayefakwe kwideshibhodi yemoto, futhi i-transceiver yocingo lwe-radiophone yayiku-trunk.

Ama-cushions ezihlalo eziphefumulayo ohambo olude nokulala

Inkampani ezinze eManchester, uMosely, ithuthukise lawa makhushini ezihlalo zemoto aphefumulayo abashayeli abangawathenga njengezinsiza zemoto. Lezi zihlalo eziphefumulayo zingangeza ukunethezeka okwengeziwe ohambweni olude noma, njengensingo enamandla, zingaba usizo kumthengisi odinga ukuphumula ngaphambi kokuma.

Kwakungewona umqondo omubi kangako, ngoba amakhushini ayelingana nesihlalo.

Izihlalo zemoto zazingasekeli ngakho kwakukhona lokhu

Enye into etholakalayo emotweni yakudala kwakuyi-Sit-Rite Back Rest eklanywe ngabakwa-KL. Ithembise ukusiza ukwehlisa ukukhathala nokungakhululeki phakathi nohambo olude lomgwaqo kumshayeli nabagibeli.

I-backrest inamathela esihlalweni ukuze kube lula ukuyisebenzisa noma ukususwa. Kunengqondo ukuthi inkampani yazithengisa ngeminyaka yama-50s kanye nama-60s, njengoba izihlalo zezimoto zazingaklanyelwe ukwesekwa kwe-lumbar kanye ne-cushioning etholakala namuhla.
