Product Description
[Sir Vival 1958 (USA)]
- Engineer Walter C. Jerome must have been a tireless optimist.
- He continued to make his own concept cars for 10 years, but none of them could be bought and this car went down in automobile history as [Sir Vival].
- This American from Worcester, Massachusetts describes his car as [a revolutionary car] and he was right.
- However, his revolution didn't produce the charm he hoped it would, as its look and concept were completely out of step with the times of the 1960s.
- The use of seatbelts alone shows how ahead of the time this engineer was.
- It would take many decades before seat belts were accepted by the public.
- The most eye-catching part of this car is the car's central split.
- Walter C. Jerome thought that this split would ideally absorb lateral forces during a crash.
- At the same time, small impacts were gently absorbed by the body's all-round rubber cushioning.
- And another unconventional safety consideration: the cockpit-shaped driver's seat in front of the rear seats, which can seat up to four people, is three feet higher and turns all the way around.
- Since the seats are high, the forward visibility is good, and the movement of the surrounding cars can be seen well.
- Three headlights, two headlights sway along the road in curves, the middle headlight is placed at the driver's height and shines straight ahead.
- In the front part, the engine of [Sir Vival] was installed with the drive axle.
