See http://www.popsci.com.au/announcemen...i-archive-free for 137 years of Popular Science Magazine. The old adverts, including car ads, are as much fun to read as the old inventions etc. Many interesting car related columns and articles too.

sweet, ive got copies of its sister, Popular Mechanics, from back in the 40's and 50's that my pop used to read. Some of the future predictions are hilarious, including we'll all be in flying cars by the 70's!!

Back in 1991 in Primary School, we did a, 'In the Year 2000' thing...and the class all agreed that we'd be in flying cars...pretty much that we'd be living like The Jetsons.
