Gadgets may fill our cars these days but they're far from new, and a new survey has unearthed some of the sillier ones of yesteryear. Bluetooth devices, for example, have quickly become a useful and highly coveted automotive accessory. But not all automotive innovations have basked in the success that is Bluetooth. Now Hagerty Insurance, insurers of classic cars in the U.S, has researched dozens of these unheard of - and often eccentric - inventions. In first place was the Automatic Lit Cigarette Dispenser. Intended As a "safety" item, this would pre-light a cigarette in a holder, thus eliminating the distractions of sparking up whilst motoring down the road. This option was unveiled in the late 1940s and in one application was attached to a steering wheel. Nevermind Chrysler's current MyGig hard-disk system, in 1956 the Highway Hi-Fi was offered as an in-car LP record player. The drawback was in the performance of the record player while encountering the smallest of bumps, slamming on the brakes or taking a fast corner. Other helpful head-scratchers include the 1957 Chevrolet in-car Electric Shaver, a bumper-mounted Steam Pressure Cooker and even a watch that could be strapped to the steering wheel. Not everything on the list seems quite so far-fetched however. The 1959 Chrysler swivelling seats don't sound a million miles away from the current Swivel N Go ones fitted to the Grand Voyager. "We frequently exchange stories with our clients about the most bizarre, oddball and, quite frankly, humorous options that have ever been offered on automobiles," said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty Insurance. "It was really interesting to see how creative and dedicated car manufacturers were in trying to anticipate the needs of drivers."
