00:00Haydi folks, Hank Dunum at Dunum Family Motors
00:02And today I'm here with my boys Danny and Jeff
00:05Boys say hi to the nice folks at home
00:07Hi
00:09Alright fellas, what do you want to be when you grow up? Danny?
00:12I want to run this dealership
00:14Oh that's great
00:16And little Jeff, how about you?
00:18I want to be Ventura Quest
00:20Son, I've told you before
00:21You're not going to amount to anything doing that
00:23Now put that doll away
00:25You want to sell cars, that's what you want to do
00:27Let's show the folks what we have
00:30This episode isn't about what you need in a car
00:34It's about what you want
00:36And for automakers, the sky's the limit
00:38Not just the radio
00:40Not just leather
00:43We're talking options that make you say
00:45Wait, that's factory?
00:48If they could dream it, they could build it
00:50And they did
00:51Welcome to the wild world of factory options
00:54And finally, the creme de la creme of our dealership
00:57This week, the 1954 Kaiser Darren
01:00This is a rare beauty right here
01:01Wait until you take a peek at those doors
01:03It'll make you say
01:04Wow, that's factory?
01:06Come on down to Dunham Family Mortars
01:08Where you're family too
01:09Right boys?
01:11It's not that bad
01:12Hey, that was pretty good
01:18Throughout time, humanity has been obsessed with getting places using anything but their own two feet
01:24We've tried all kinds of things
01:26Until finally, the greatest invention of all time
01:31The automobile
01:33Moron
01:34These are the cars that drove us
01:40Ah, the 1950s
01:42A glorious time when every lawn was trimmed with military precision
01:47Every fence was white and picketed
01:49And safely within the confines of that fence were exactly 2.5 well-adjusted children
01:55Frolicking in domestic bliss
01:57Yes, sir
01:58The American dream is alive and well
02:00Vacuum sealed in suburbia and powered by
02:04A healthy fear of communism
02:06Yup
02:07And cover
02:09But while Dad waxes the Plymouth and Mom starts the laundry
02:13Something cosmic was unfolding over those cookie-cutter rooflines
02:17Space
02:18Yes, space
02:20The final frontier
02:22Now featuring Soviet metal beach balls like Sputnik
02:25Beeping ominously as they orbited overhead
02:28You are hearing the actual signals transmitted by the Earth-circling satellite
02:32Sparking a full-blown American innovation panic
02:36And that same feverish excitement made its way back down to Earth
02:40Showing up in kitchens, living rooms, and of course, car showrooms
02:44This new futuristic technology that you were seeing in the outside world
02:48You needed to have that stuff in your car
02:51It was a vision of what the automotive future could look like
02:53Fueled by the same engineering bravado that launched monkeys into orbit
02:57The automotive space race often pushed creativity into overdrive
03:03Resulting in designs, concepts, and factory options
03:06That felt more sci-fi than street legal
03:10In the early days of the auto industry, car makers weren't aiming for the masses
03:16Automobiling, as it was called, was a hobby practiced by rich people
03:20$12,000 for a car? This you gotta see
03:23It was seen as something manly and you're an automobilist
03:27Oh, he's gone 50 miles an hour
03:29As cars became more affordable, manufacturers found a new way to cater to the rich
03:34Options come into the fold right there
03:37If it didn't involve accelerating or braking, it probably started as a factory option
03:42Automatic transmissions, power steering came in, air conditioning became very popular, very common
03:48In some cases, paying for options was the equivalent of volunteering for a test flight
03:53Volkswagen made a gas heater
03:55You'd light it with a match and you'd use gas from your engine to heat the inside of the car
04:01Yeah, what could go wrong there?
04:03Eventually, heaters became standard
04:05But, ah, not that gassy VW one, of course
04:08There were also concepts designed to meet the needs of the moment
04:12Some of the car configurations that were developed were really around the emerging mobility of Americans
04:18It was a time when, you know, motels were starting to appear
04:22But there would be long stretches of American highway where you couldn't really find a place to sleep
04:26Now, you can sleep in any car
04:28But in 1936, Nash came up with a way for the whole family to take a nap
04:33Just so long as it wasn't barreling down the road
04:35You can even get your Nash equipped with complete twin beds
04:38So now on long road trips, you just sleep in your car
04:41And road trips would be on the rise, thanks to the Interstate Highway Act of 1956
04:46The suburbs were getting popular, no one lives in cities
04:49So now people were starting to commute to work
04:51Some suburbanites were even buying two cars
04:54And at that point, the sky was the limit
04:56Putting just about anything into a car seemed like a good idea
04:59You know what was the big thing? Plug in electric shavers for your car
05:02The GM in-car electric shaver
05:05Plugs into your life
05:06You can shave while you're driving
05:08Grooming while driving
05:09Safe time
05:10You know, you're looking in the mirror and get rear-ended
05:12That is, if the potholes didn't get you first
05:16What?
05:17As more Americans got behind the wheel
05:19Roads filled up
05:20And so did the hours spent in cars that had little to offer in the way of entertainment
05:25Today, we're used to the concept of having all kinds of great music in our car
05:30But back then, you pretty much just had an AM radio
05:32Oh yes, nothing says I'm driving under power lines like AM radio
05:37But for those who could afford a little more, Chrysler had an alternative
05:41Plymouth has everything, even a highway hi-fi record player
05:45Chrysler had something called the highway hi-fi
05:49And it was the first time that you could take music out of your house and put it in your
05:53car
05:53Which was at that time, obviously, an actual record player
05:57Although you couldn't actually use your own records
06:00It only worked with proprietary records from Columbia
06:02So you were also very limited on the music that you could play
06:06For those who wanted to hear something other than the soothing swoon of Percy Faith and his orchestra
06:11Salvation wouldn't arrive until the 1960 Dodge Polara
06:15And the dealer installed Chrysler-approved RCA Auto Victrola
06:19What was great about this one was you could pick out your own records
06:22It's a stack of 1445s from your own record library
06:28Listen to that
06:29Now that they had tunes, it was time to focus on the real innovations
06:34Car manufacturers were simply experimenting
06:36If somebody had an idea to put something in a car
06:39Somebody said, well, let's do it
06:40Let's put a bar in a 1957 Eldorado Brougham
06:44Name the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham
06:46Engineers were handed a free reign
06:48And free-flowing American whiskey all around
06:50In all fairness, vices in the 50s were different
06:53Luckys, viceroys, camels were just what the doctor ordered
06:57This resulted in a boom in aftermarket cigarette accessories
07:01You're driving along, you press the button
07:04The cigarette would roll down, the thing would light it
07:07And then the stupidest part
07:10It would flick the cigarette up
07:12And you catch it, you know
07:14Just the idea that you're in a car
07:16A machine is throwing lit cigarettes
07:19But nothing goes better with cigarettes than coffee
07:23Volkswagen enthusiasts know about the esoteric options
07:27That could be had on the Beetle
07:29One of which is often talked about is the coffee maker
07:33Oh, the Hertella Auto Cafe Machine
07:36A coffee maker that mounted to the dash of your car
07:41You're out here engineering portable kettles
07:44But no one thought just to put in a cup holder
07:45And while astronauts sip from high-tech Capri Suns
07:49We Earthlings prefer a place to park our easily spillable drinks
07:53So it's hard to imagine there was a time without cup holders
07:57After three and a half decades of improvising
08:00We came up with a doctor of cupology
08:02We had cup holders that could hold anything
08:05And would clamp it like claws of a crab
08:07You go to Europe, a cup holder holds a cup
08:10Here it's got to hold a 44-ounce big cup
08:12Now that's what I call a large
08:15As Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard became the first men to voyage into space
08:20Their bravery inspired engineers and dreamers here on Earth
08:24To devise new and exciting ways to traverse the land
08:27But one car dared to go beyond the land
08:30With the flick of a switch, it becomes a boat
08:33The Amphicar was marketed to the adventurous American outdoorsman
08:39Lyndon Johnson, the President, made them famous
08:41He had one on his Texas ranch
08:43And whenever Khrushchev or world leaders would come
08:45He'd take them a ride
08:46And then he'd press the brake
08:47Oh, oh, oh, we've got to go in the water
08:50Oh my god, the brakes don't work
08:51And he would go in the water
08:52And they would go, oh my god, what's going on?
08:53And then they'd go across the lake, whatever
08:55Yeah, that was his big trick
08:56These themed cars were made for a very specific customer
08:59But there's another kind of themed car
09:02One that didn't have a target demo
09:04In fact, it wasn't even for sale
09:06Well, a concept car is usually an engineer or a designer's idea of vehicle of the future
09:13We're all set for auto control
09:15There were a series of three concepts back in the 1950s
09:19Firebird 1, Firebird 2, and Firebird 3
09:21Which were coincidentally all powered by turbid engines
09:24Everything had an aeronautical look
09:27And the idea that you could have an airplane on the ground
09:30That flew at, quote, airplane speeds
09:33Well, that was just unbelievable
09:34While the first Firebird was a single seater
09:37The second featured two rows of seats
09:39Perfect for families that wanted to feel like they were heading into combat together
09:44Then, there's the Firebird 3
09:46Firebird 3 from General Motors with twin plastic canopies
09:49It was brimming with concepts that would foreshadow things that are still maybe headed to production
09:55Get ready for a ride in Firebird 3
09:57Full autonomous driving
09:59Want to sit back and relax?
10:01Set in the speed you want to drive
10:03And switch over to automatic guidance
10:06Release the stick
10:08And Firebird 3 is on its own
10:10Wait, a self-driving car in the 50s?
10:13Good luck with that
10:15Considering this is what a computer looked like in 1959
10:18You might be thinking
10:19It's not possible, it's physically impossible
10:22Computing technology, on the other hand, was coming along in leaps and bounds
10:25But still, well, in those days, America's space program was using something much more reliable
10:32The computing power of women
10:34We have a brain, that I can work with
10:37But meanwhile, the auto industry seemed to ignore women's intelligence and appeal instead to their vanity
10:43A bunch of guys figured they'd design a car for women
10:47Think of it as a series of car options for women bundled into one lovely vehicle
10:52Designed entirely by men
10:54And what did the husbands in Detroit name this beautiful car for their blushing brides?
10:58The Dodge Le Femme
11:01That's great!
11:02It's French!
11:03It was just a regular Dodge
11:04They offered colors like pastel pink and white
11:08They had a rosebud interior
11:10It even came with a parasol and matching raincoat
11:13And a purse
11:14Came with this purse
11:16You open the purse up and look at the stuff that's inside
11:19What woman wouldn't love this?
11:21Lipstick
11:21Oh, a lighter because back in the 50s everybody smoked
11:24The change purse
11:26Oh, oh, and the compact
11:27I wonder if there's any makeup left in it
11:29Hold on, let me see
11:30Yes, there is!
11:31It's powder!
11:32Okay, there
11:33I actually did that
11:36Oh my gosh, what did I do?
11:38There's powder everywhere now
11:40This is the 50s, is it carcinogenic?
11:43Hold on
11:48As the 1960s moved into the 1970s
11:51Style became important again
11:53Leading the charge
11:54American Motors
11:55They were the fourth largest car company in America
11:59You know, the big three
12:00And then there's American Motors
12:02They needed something to help their brand stand out
12:05If you had to compete for the three biggest car companies in America, what would you do?
12:10So American Motors thought, how can we make these a little fancy?
12:13Maybe we'll get together with some fancy designer like Gucci
12:16Gucci designed an interior for the AMC Hornet
12:20It was the perfect blend of European and American
12:22It was pretty successful
12:24Turns out, the unlikely pairing made a lot of sense
12:26It got a lot of people into AMC dealerships
12:29So they reached out to other designers
12:31As a result, the world's greatest designers weren't headed to Milan, Paris, or even New York
12:36They were headed to Detroit
12:37The AMC Javelin, a really outrageous looking muscle car
12:41Had an interior designed by Pierre Cardin
12:44And there was an AMC Matador with an Oleg Cassini designed interior
12:48On the other end were the Levi's collaborations that AMC also did
12:53So you could get a car that actually was upholstered with denim
12:57Well, they look like denim seats, but the actual denim didn't meet the fire safety protocols
13:03And so they actually made spun nylon, so this is dyed nylon
13:06But it feels a lot like denim
13:08But then, look at this, you got the tags just like on the Levi's jeans
13:11And then you got the buttons, it's just goofy fun
13:14Jeans are all about comfort, but when you want to impress
13:17The idea of having leather in your car, well, you must be special
13:20And along comes Ricardo Montalban, the actor
13:25I know my own needs
13:26And what I need from an automobile, I know I get from this new Cordova
13:31That voice
13:32Montalban's voice could make you feel welcome
13:34Welcome to Fantasy Island
13:36Or terrified
13:37This is City Alpha 5
13:39As to the car itself
13:41It was a big, comfortable car
13:43It only had two doors because it was for somebody who didn't have a family
13:47Or wanted to pretend they didn't have a family
13:49That's actually a pretty good tagline
13:52The Cordova sold luxury on a budget
13:55One thing that people wanted were supple leather seats
13:58But Chrysler didn't line the Cordova with just any old leather
14:02They used soft Corinthian leather
14:04The name was infectious
14:07Rich Corinthian leather
14:08Rich Corinthian leather
14:10Rich Corinthian
14:11Rich Corinthian leather
14:13Suddenly, I had to have Corinthian leather
14:16America was obsessed, begging the question
14:19Why didn't all cars have Corinthian leather?
14:22One question would lead to another
14:24What was so special about Corinth that they had these special cows that made this unique leather?
14:29Yeah, about Corinth
14:31It was something that an ad agency came up with
14:33The writer, Jim Nichols, who wrote the commercial for Chrysler for me
14:37At that time, he wanted to find a word that sounded sort of elegant
14:42That I could say with a little verb, you know
14:44And I saw Corinthian
14:46Oh, yeah
14:46You know what I mean?
14:48But does it mean anything?
14:50Nothing
14:51Corinthian leather was completely made up
14:54It was just standard leather from New Jersey
14:58Ah, Jersey cows
14:59The Cordoba somehow turned real leather into faux leather
15:03But what came next was really real
15:06Real, undeniable change
15:08By the 80s, high tech and digital tech started to invade the automobile
15:12Please turn off your light
15:14French maximum
15:17While the formal space race wrapped up in 1975 with the Apollo-Soyuz test project
15:22The world's obsession with the stars was far from over
15:25We have ignition
15:26We have a liftoff
15:28And in 1977, the universe was expanding
15:31And we were searching for ways to be a part of it
15:36This was the era of Star Wars
15:40Even legendary interior designer John Shetler
15:43Was captivated by the space drama
15:46What was the most exciting part of the Star Wars movies?
15:49I have you now
15:50And they were in the Starfighter
15:54Trying to take down Death Star
15:58Although, John appreciated the sequence from a certain point of view
16:01But it was all interior looking to drop that missile
16:05Great shot, kid! That was one in a million!
16:07The 80s was packed with legendary sci-fi vehicles
16:10Each with their own futuristic interior
16:13A cue the real-life auto industry would begin to pick up on
16:16You had things like digital dashes
16:19No more were there analog gauges
16:20Those weren't cool, those weren't futuristic enough
16:23While some of the vehicles Hollywood envisioned were odd
16:26One would border on prophecy
16:29Amazing! And it's like mission control
16:32I'm into gadgets
16:33When Knight Rider came out in 81
16:36Yeah, I thought that was fantastic
16:38To see the car, you could talk to it
16:41Come on kid, say something to the bear
16:43I'm sorry Michael, I have nothing to say
16:46It was wonderful
16:46While you couldn't banter with the cars of the 80s
16:49The 1981 Datsun Maxima offered a one-sided conversation
16:54Datsun Maxima
16:55Lights are on
16:56Thanks Maxima
16:57Your door is ajar
16:59You know, when I was a kid
17:00The car talks down, it's cool
17:02You know, that was the idea
17:03And then after your third conversation with the car
17:05He shut up
17:06The 1984 Nissan 300ZX
17:09I have an affinity for this vehicle
17:10Because this very car right here
17:12Is the first thing that the dummies paid for
17:15That was kind of expensive
17:16I love this thing because some of the factory options are great
17:19But the number one is the talking car
17:22It was one of the first talking vehicles
17:24For example, let's leave your lights on
17:29Lights are on
17:30But the conversation was just getting started
17:34From advanced technology comes a new kind of luxury car
17:37The Chrysler New Yorker
17:39That's right, Corinthian's biggest leather man was back
17:42And Ricardo Montalban had become the voice of Chrysler cars
17:46With electronics so advanced it even monitors itself
17:49But unfortunately, not the actual voice of the actual talking Chrysler car
17:54All monitor systems are functioning
17:56A real missed opportunity
17:58Love is the creative energy of the universe
18:02Without it, life would be hell
18:05Anyway, the options of the 80s and 90s brought the focus back to comfort
18:09Meanwhile, the auto industry took a slightly more down-to-earth approach
18:13Offering features people actually wanted
18:15Their old ideas, the technology is new
18:18The reason why we're putting them in the car
18:20Is the same reason that we put record players in cars in the 1950s
18:24It was to make the car feel more like the home
18:27What else did every home have?
18:29In 1984, Buick actually offered, as an option, a car phone
18:36To be able to talk on the phone in your car really felt like the future
18:39Now you were a member of the elite
18:41The name Buick has always stood for automobiles that are well above the ordinary
18:46And in some ways, it set the table for what was going to happen over the next 20, 30 years
18:50I mean, it wasn't until 2004 that you could finally send a fax from your Audi A8
18:56Just in case your Blackberry was on the fritz
18:58I think the car industry is most exciting when there are new vehicles coming
19:04When they're challenging each other
19:06The goal is let's do something that nobody has ever done before
19:10They push boundaries, they challenge conventions
19:12It's an exercise in exploration
19:15From hybrids to EVs
19:17Augmented reality windshields and self-massaging seats
19:21From self-braking to self-parking
19:24The car packs itself
19:25It's smart
19:26It's wicked smart
19:27Today's cars are packed with tech once reserved for sci-fi
19:31Shields of 60%
19:33Auto manufacturers are still chasing that space race energy
19:37Only now it's software over steel
19:40And battery hum over engine roar
19:43Even what we could have imagined
19:45Back in the 50s, the 60s, 70s, the 80s, even the 90s
19:50The cars we have today
19:52They're not just cars anymore
19:54They are mechanical and technological marvels
19:58The mission, go further
20:01Do more and spark the imagination
20:04Ideally without catching fire
20:07Kids, don't smoke
20:10And whichever element we conquer
20:11Be it space, sea, or land
20:16We're all set for auto control
20:19We'll be there, embracing whatever the future holds
20:23As long as it still holds a cup
20:25If you don't have good cupholders, you don't have a car
20:39I kill you!
20:40I kill you!
