Engine directly attached to the frame. Thus in a crash the engine was pushed back into the passenger section. Modern cars have engines on "Blocks" that in a crash "fail" causing the engine to drop onto the road not into the passenger compartment. Another factor is the "roll bar", that prevents the passenger compartment from collapsing. Easy to install on sedans, but not coupes, hardtops or convertibles. Thus true coupes and hardtops died out in the 1970s do to this regulation. Convertibles, Trucks and SUVs did NOT come under that regulation and thus death traps in any roll over. Given lawsuits since the regulation was adopted, Convertibles all but died out (Air Conditioning was another factor). Trucks and SUVs started to have them installed after 2000. Jeep started to install and only sell Jeeps with a roll bar in the 1970s do to lawsuits do to the fact that rollbar can mean the difference between dead people crushed by their own vehicle in a roll over or those same people walking away from such a roll over. Another regulations adopted in the late 1960s was the collapsible sterring wheel column. In the 1950s, many people died when in an accident as the steering wheel crushed them against their own seat as the column itself was pushed backward. As to seatbelts, only required in 1967 model year, that regulation also required marking lights on the side of an automobile. Prior to that date not required. When I sold replacement glass for Automobiles my office had some very old books showing the glass sizes for cars since the 1920s. The newer books did not list glass parts for cars older then 30 years, thus my office kept some of the older books to find out what car took what glass. All of the older cars used flat glass, but the book had a comment under each glass that it had to be safety glass IN THOSE STATES THAT REQUIRED SAFETY GLASS. Till 1967 the regulation were set by each state, and some states had no regulations. Thus plate glass was legal in some states as late as 1967. You can cut Plate Glass and Laminated glass to size, but only Laminated glass will not shatter. Thus only laminated glass is a "Safety glass". Another problem with those old cars killed off by modern regulations is all metal gloveboxes of the 1950s. Such glove boxes, in an accident, would fail and open up cutting into whoever was behind the glove box. The Feds required all glove boxes to be designed to prevent it going flat when opened AND had a double latch so if one failed the other would still function (This regulation also appiled to all doors except trunks and rear door in a station wagon, SUV, van or other vehicle that had a door that passengers did not sit beside). The huge bodies of the 1950s and 1960s had to do more with air flow within the vehicle then safety. A vehicle with air flow, even when the windows are rolled up, is much more comfortable then a vehicle with no air flow. Thus cars of the 1950s and 1960s had huge air vents beside the leg compartments of the Driver and Passenger sides. You could shut the vents off but if the vehicle was moving and the vents were open you could be very comfortable even in high Tempertures. Stopped at a red light you roasted, but moving you were comfortable even with the windows up. Air Conditioning killed off the needs for such vents (in the 1960s in was recommended you buy after market Air Conditioning for with factory installed Air Conditioning the vents were sealed and could not be used, but with after market Air Conditioning you had a car with both vents and Air Conditioning). In the 1970s, cars started to be designed around Air Conditioning, thus the old vents were no longer designed into automobiles. Thus modern automobiles need Air Conditioning for they are designed around every one having Air Conditioning. This permitted automobiles to no longer needing the hugh baffles that permitted air flow into the passenger compartment. This permited the outside of the Vehicles to become smaller, as the interior room actually increased. The gas crisis of the 1970s accelerated this change, but the change predated the energy crisis of 1973. It was Air Conditioning that saw cars become smaller on the outside, but became larger inside. With Air Conditioning you no longer needed the huge baffles to get air flow inside the passenger compartment. Thus modern cars are smaller on the outside but with more interior room then the same size car of the 1950s. Furthermore modern cars are safer, get better fuel economy and as fast as cars of the 1950s.
@@paulmentzer7658" Thus modern cars are smaller on the outside but with more interior room then the same size car of the 1950s." All modern cars are sturdier than equivalently sized old cars. Modern cars have bigger and fatter tires too. Look at the Fiat 500s and VW beetles, how they have become bigger, though retaining the same name. Medium-sized cars of the 50's look flimsier than their modern homologues, as well. And what about those gas-guzzling SUV behemoths, making up 60% of US-registered cars? Even a car professional can have a wrong perception, as this one. The only things true about modern cars are: more safe, more fuel efficient, and more ergonomic with an electronic dashboard, , like a "glass cockpit" airliner.

That reminds me of a time in my youth when a scene for Cannon, an early 1970s 'cop show' was shot at the end of my street. Actor William Conrad got into and out of a new Lincoln several times (reshoots) and was sweating profusely. I don't know if I felt worse for him or the car, though, as that brand new Lincoln seemed to dive to the bottom of its springs when he threw himself into it and sprung back with relief as he heaved himself out.
If you pay attention towards the end, when he reads the trucks license plate number, he also gives another license plate number two different license plate numbers on the same vehicle
The people at large viewing this show in 1957 had mostly never seen marijuana, and barely heard about it. You could show them anything, and they wouldn't ask (m)any questions
You havent seen neither marihuana leaes or banana leaves. This isnt marihuana leaves, but it is leaves from a legal plant with extremely look- a like leaves, I just dont know what it is called in english!
I doubt the HP had radio coverage in rural areas. IN theory one could have a huge tower at HQ with a super powerful transmitter, but it's unlikely a distant car radio could respond.
he has, in my zone the local"carabinieri" (italian militar police) transmit to their cars via radio by a tower they have on hq top, they cover at least 30 km from the transmitter, atleast to the end of their jurisdiction and we have mountains too, i guess distances in USA are bigger but they sure used a net of multiple antennas to broadcast The police radios always work, even were cellular line or gps cant work, is built to be always efficient

Some states have such rules, mostly to avoid accusations of abuse of state property. Other states permit private use on the grounds having a patrol car being seen gives citizens an increased feeling of law enforcement. Some jurisdictions required officers to buy their patrol cars and reimburse them miliage, very rare nowadays but done in the 1950s. Such personal purchase of equipment was more common with firearms then cars. Such requirements on the decline since Congress outlawed buying new automatic weapons in 1986 (i.e. officers can no longer buy automatic firearms thus requiring them to do so makes acquiring such firearms impossible except if the actual police department obtain the weapons) and Reagan's change of the tax laws that made use of a Government vehicle for private use taxable income.
There was a resident officer and a CHP house on US395 just south of devil's gate. Used to see that guy driving his patrol car while he was out of uniform. Didn't look like he was on duty to me. I think the CHP has ended that program. At least I hear the devil's gate officer is gone and the CHP sold the house. Is just as well, there are popular hot springs a couple of miles from the house and I hear he used to dish out a lot of grief to the bathers that used the springs.
@@paulmentzer7658 ...When we first moved into our neighborhood, the guy next door was an officer and having his squad car there at night sure did make me feel safe. Too bad his wife kicked him out a few months later and divorced him.
Greed took over those thieves. If they would have waited 70 years they could have harvested and sold that weed legally in the medical and recreational marijuana market. That’s what impatience and going for the quick buck does.
Well, don't need to use this episode as a training video at the old poleece academy. Sure would've liked to have a pair of those magic zoom binoculars tho. Too big of a plot and not enough time. Was 2150 standing in an actual pot crop while "undercover"?
