YouTuber Timely Tales has published a nostalgia-inducing video telling us about the various functions that old cars used to have before they were lost forever. Let’s take a look, shall we?
The author begins with showing cassette radios that ultimately made room for CD changers – but those haven’t stayed around for long, either. Every car worth calling modern now has an option for a full-blown multimedia system.
There was once a time when every car had a button on the floor for toggling high beams. The floor switch had stayed in production through the 1990s, but ultimately went the way of the dodo.
You may also remember manual window-raising handles that were your only way to lower or lift the glass in a car. As for the folding rear bench facing backwards – we will not hold it against you if you don’t recall anything of the kind. It was a long time ago, after all.
