The 1970 Dodge Race Game, Scat City!


At the height of Mopar Madness, the Dodge Boys decided to license an entry into the tabletop slot car fad. 
Called "Scat City", the box blared Peter Max style graphics and the awesome visage of two pistol-grip shifting dudes, racing their E-bodies down the scale track. 
Enjoy the feels...

1942 Desoto Steering Wheel Cigarette Dispenser



This is one of the rarest options you'll run across, a handy cig-spitter built in to your steering wheel, courtesy of the 1942 Desoto.




Who hasn't thought, "Ya know, while I'm cruising at 75 miles an hour, I'd like my steering device to double as a vending machine....



Only a nicotine-fiend engineer could have spent the many 10-pack hours it took to imagine, blueprint and test out such a dangerous attention-splitting device. What did they decide not to invent, maybe a beer-dispensing gas pedal?

Well, here it is, enjoy, and yeah, I would stick one on my wheel, if it spat out Snickers Bars...
