This invention utilized a car's spare tire as a 5th wheel helping in parking. It may look funny and eventually failed, but was very effective. October 19, 1952, an inventor from Piedmont, CA noticed that cars were getting larger, while parking spots continued to shrink. He invented the “Park-Car,“ which was a car that utilized the spare tire in order to make more abrupt turns and aid in parallel parking. The tire drops down from the trunk of the car, lifting the back two tires off the ground, and acts as a swivel rotating or spinning the back of the car out of any tight spot.
