Trivia #01-224 million cars

by Ross Mills

In a tale that drives through history, we rev up with the Michelin brothers who inflated our journeys in 1891 with their pneumatic tire. Fast forward to 1902, where Kenosha, Wisconsin, gave birth to the Rambler, while by 1972, cars had multiplied to 224 million, with the USA hogging half. Ralph Nader threw a wrench in the works with “Unsafe At Any Speed” in 1965. Meanwhile, Toyota parked itself in Kentucky in 1986, and by 2006, GM and Chrysler were on a bailout joyride. Buckle up for an automotive rollercoaster!
