Flashback: Car-Exhaust Vacuum Cleaner

March 20, 2013 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - Auto Upholstery Community - Car Exhaust Vacuum.jpg

Believe it or not, the above article on car-exhaust vacuum cleaners appeared in a February, 1932 issue of Popular Science magazine. Apparently, carbon monoxide poisoning wasn’t a big concern 81 years ago.

But hey, you gotta keep your upholstery clean – right?

      If that “new car smell” is toxic, I can’t imagine what this is…

    I’m not too sure this would go over so well with OSHA these days. Although it was an interesting Flashback.
    Thanks Eric

    Very interesting indeed. Although, I didn’t know about this. I heard it the first time from this article. Yes, I believe popular science news.
