Nā kaʻa mai ka makahiki 1950 a i ka makahiki 2000
I ka makahiki 1954, ua ulu nui ʻo ʻAmelika ma hope o ke kaua. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā ʻohana ma mua o ka hiki ke kūʻai aku i nā kaʻa ʻohana. He ʻumi makahiki wiwo ʻole ia i piha i nā kaʻa wiwo ʻole, nā kaʻa chrome nani e hōʻike ana i ka manaʻo maikaʻi a me ka holomua o nā makahiki 50. Ua ʻālohilohi nā mea a pau!
ʻOi aku ka nui o nā kaʻa, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pono no ka lawelawe kaʻa kiʻekiʻe, hilinaʻi a maʻalahi. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā huila Chapel Hill a hauʻoli mākou i ka lawelawe ʻana.
Ua loli paha ka honua a me kāna mau kaʻa i nā makahiki 60 mai ka wā i hoʻokumu ʻia ai mākou, akā ua hoʻomau mākou i ka hoʻolako ʻana i ka lawelawe papa mua i nā makahiki. Ke hoʻololi nei nā kaʻa - a e kuʻu akua, ua loli lākou! Ua mālama ko mākou ʻike i nā pono lawelawe hoʻololi o ka North Carolina Triangle.
Ke hoʻolauleʻa nei mākou i ka makahiki 60 o Chapel Hill Tire, e nānā kākou i ka retrospective automotive, e hoʻomaka ana me nā lā hanohano o Detroit a hele pololei i nā ʻauwaʻa hybrid o Chapel Hill Tire e hiki mai ana.
1950s
Ua makemake ka papa waena e ulu nei i nā kaʻa nani, a ua koi ʻia ka ʻoihana kaʻa. ʻO nā hōʻailona huli, no ka laʻana, ua hele mai kahi mea hoʻohui waiwai i kahi kumu hoʻohālike maʻamau, a lilo ka hoʻokuʻu kūʻokoʻa i mea maʻamau. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i pilikia nui ka palekana: ʻaʻole i loaʻa i nā kaʻa nā kāʻei noho!
1960s
ʻO ka ʻumi makahiki hoʻokahi i lawe mai i ke kipi kūʻē kūʻē i ka honua i hoʻolauna pū i nā kaʻa e lilo i kiʻi ma waena o ʻAmelika: ʻo Ford Mustang.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike he mea koʻikoʻi ka chrome, akā ua ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻolālā kaʻa - ua hoʻokomo ka 60s i ka manaʻo kaʻa paʻa, kahi mea nui o ka hoʻolālā kaʻa muscle kaulana o kēia mau makahiki.
1970s
I ka piʻi ʻana o ke kūʻai ʻana o nā kaʻa i nā makahiki 50 a me 60, ua piʻi ka nui o nā make pili kaʻa. Ma ka makahiki 1970, ua ho'āʻo ikaika ka ʻoihana e hoʻoponopono i kēia pilikia ma o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana anti-skid ʻehā (ʻike ʻoe iā lākou he anti-lock brakes) a me nā ʻeke air (ʻoiai ʻaʻole lākou i lilo i mea maʻamau a hiki i ka 944 Porsche 1987). I ka piʻi ʻana o ke kumukūʻai wahie, ua lilo ka hoʻolālā aerodynamic i mea koʻikoʻi, a hoʻomaka nā kaʻa e nānā me he mea lā ma ka lewa!
Akā, ʻaʻohe o lākou ʻano hou, ʻo ka makahiki 70 kahi kokoke i ka make o ka ʻoihana kaʻa ʻAmelika. ʻO ka "Big Three" American automakers - General Motors, Ford a me Chrysler - ua hoʻomaka e ʻoki ʻia i waho o kā lākou mākeke ponoʻī e nā kaʻa lawe ʻia a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ʻoi aku ka poʻe Iapana. ʻO kēia ke au o Toyota, a ʻaʻole i haʻalele kona mana iā mākou.
1980s
ʻO ka makahiki o ka lauoho ʻē aʻe i lawe pū me ia i kahi kaʻa ʻē: ka DeLorean DMC-12, i kaulana ʻia e ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Michael J. Fox Back to the Future. Loaʻa iā ia nā panela kila kila a me nā fender ma kahi o nā puka a me ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana i kēlā ʻumi makahiki ʻē aʻe ma mua o nā kaʻa ʻē aʻe.
Ua hoʻomaka hou ʻia nā ʻenekini kaʻa ma muli o ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā mea hoʻokele wahie uila i nā carburetors, ma kahi ʻāpana e hoʻokō i nā kūlana hoʻokuʻu federal.
1990s
ʻElua huaʻōlelo: nā kaʻa uila. ʻOiai ua puni nā papahana kaʻa uila no kahi o hoʻokahi haneli, ua paipai ka Clean Air Act o 1990 i nā mea hana kaʻa e hoʻomohala i nā kaʻa maʻemaʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka wahie. Eia nō naʻe, ua pāpā ʻia kēia mau kaʻa i ke kumu kūʻai a he mau palena palena. Ua makemake mākou i nā hāʻina maikaʻi aʻe.
2000s
E komo hybrid. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka honua holoʻokoʻa e ʻike i nā pilikia kaiapuni, ua pohā nā kaʻa hybrid i ke ʻano - nā kaʻa me nā ʻenekini uila a me ka ʻaila. Ua hoʻomaka ko lākou kaulana me ka Toyota Prius, ka hui mua ʻehā-puka sedan e komo i ka mākeke US. ʻO ka wā e hiki mai ana ma ʻaneʻi.
ʻO mākou ma Chapel Hill Tire kekahi o nā mea mua i hoʻokō i ka ʻenehana hybrid. ʻO mākou ke kikowaena lawelawe hybrid kūʻokoʻa mua i hōʻoia ʻia ma Triangle a loaʻa iā mākou nā ʻauwaʻa o nā kaʻa kaʻa hybrid no kou ʻoluʻolu. A ʻo ka mea nui, makemake wale mākou i nā kaʻa.
Makemake ʻoe i ka lawelawe kaʻa ʻokoʻa ma Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Durham a i ʻole Carrborough? E hana i kahi manawa ma ka pūnaewele a e ʻike iā ʻoe iho i ka mea hiki ke hana no ʻoe ma mua o ka hapalua haneli o ka ʻike!
Hoʻi i nā kumuwaiwai
