Why would you go for the conventional steering wheel to go if you also take your car via a flight yoke/joystick to scroll through the bends can hunt?

Of course, experiment car manufacturers and enthusiasts a lot of with both drive – like concepts. Control via a traditional steering wheel, although electric or hydraulic, is at present dominant, and that is and always has been, but that is not to say that there’s never anything else on the steering column has been.

Today we have the Toyota FV2, the Honda EV-star, and more of those separate concepts, or home-made jokes, but this is not something of the last few years. Below you will find a number of examples of sticks, batons and other kinds of unconventional controllers on cars from a (far) past. If your additions have then we heard this like:

GM Firebird III (1958)

The car itself was one fantasy-allegory of big fins and bulges, it had a pookje for the control system.

Pontiac Trans Am K. I. T. T. – Knight Rider (1982)

Not so much a stick as a sort of spaceship-flight controls. The Hoff, who is not big?

Beatnik Bandit (1960)

This beautiful piece of hot rod-home is still the closest in the area of pure joystickrijden.

Saab 9000 drive-by-wire (1992)

No steering wheel, but a central bat. That must be unnatural feel..

Mercury (Ford) Park Lane convertible Wrist-twist (1965)

We polsden Mr. Polska about this revolutionary polsbesturing, but he does prefer the taxi. Bitch. Video on autojunk.

Chrysler LeBaron-sketch (1979)

As far as we know left this joystick-like controls the drawing board. Might be a good thing.

‘It’ – Herbert Garrison (2001)

Very comfortable it is not, but fast!

NES-controller (2013)

The car is not age, but the controller is already 30 years old, we are fiddling with him just so. Cars seem to be also more and more on games…(via Devices)
