sir vival

The 1 and only Sir Vival. The brainchild of a Worcester Mass inventor who was determined to build the world's safest car. In the early fifties he modified a '47 Hudson and built a car that was in 2 sections, the engine in front connected to the passenger compartment in back via an articulated joint. For maximum visibility the driver sat in the raised turret area surrounded by 360 degree glass cylinder that rotated thru vertical squeegees so the driver wouldn't have to view the road obscured by wiper blades. The car was featured in every auto and mechanical mag of the day. He displayed it at several world's fairs including the NY fair of 64.
