Cruise control...
"Cruise control was invented in 1945 by the blind inventor and mechanical engineer Ralph Teetor. His idea was born out of the frustration of riding in a car driven by his lawyer, who kept speeding up and slowing down as he talked. The first car with cruise control was introduced by the Chrysler Corporation on the 1958 Chrysler Imperial."Lynn Matthews -
Interesting,
Never heard that before. Don't like cruise control, just one more thing to go wrong.Last edited by Lt1Corvette; Dec 22, 2004, 07:02 PM.Comment
