in reverse

Chrysler's Carl Breer knew that cars would go better backwards because his team took a car body off it's chassis and re-installed it reversed, to find that it went faster and got better mpg.Before the 1934 introduction of his Chrysler Airflow,he hired a professional race car driver for a publicity stunt,by driving a Chrysler DeSoto across the U.S. "backwards",to demonstrate the aerodynamic point of the upcoming Airflow.---------------------------------------------- America didn't get it.They still don't.
