Alright, Sevenwalls fam! Buckle up as we journey through time, steering our way from the humble beginnings to the marvels of modern-day steering wheels. Ever wondered how our ancestors went vroom-vroom? Let’s find out!
The Humble Hoot
Picture this: Late 1800s, classy cars, and steering wheels made entirely of...wood! That’s right, folks, before tech took over, hand-carved wooden steering wheels were all the rage. Oh, and they didn’t come with a heating feature, unless it was the sun doing the job! 😜
Steel-y Glance
Enter the 20s, and wooden steering wheels took a backseat. Steel wheels rolled in, strong and shiny, setting a steely trend. They were the perfect arm workout; who needed a gym back then?
Power to the Power Steering
Jump to the 1950s - music was jivey, skirts were swirly, and steering became a piece of cake. Thanks to the power steering, tight parking spots weren’t gym sessions anymore.
Let's Get Multifunctional
The latter part of the 20th century said, "Why should steering wheels just, well, steer?" So, in came radio controls, fancy cruise controls, and that airbag - all in one place. Talk about multi-tasking!
Touch, Swipe, and Voila!
Steering wheels today? Mini tech hubs. Touchscreens, gesture controls, and all things swanky. Yet, a few swipe mishaps and we're all missing those simpler days, right? 😉
But hey, while we’re all for marveling at how steering wheels have evolved, we’re also about keeping our vehicles safe. Modern times, modern problems! And that's why we at Sevenwalls recommend wrapping your steering wheel with our top-notch steering wheel locks. Safety first, always!
