the Datsun baby, so kids could learn safe driving, and have a hell of a good time at the amusement park

Nissan made a 100 of them, they were for an amusement park in Yokohama that was open from 1965 to 1973. Not riding a rail, kids could drive up to 18mph anywhere on the track.

Amazingly, these two-seater runabouts had a four-wheel independent suspension with front double wishbones! Power came from a 200cc motor, but keep in mind that plenty of actual cars on the road at the time had engines only slightly larger at 360cc. Transmissions were automatic, supplied by Okamura Corporation, the firm that built Japan’s first torque converter, and the steering wheel had a spring-actuated self-turning feature.

Nissan donated 100 Datsun Babys to the park in order to teach children about traffic safety, so they could be safer as future drivers and as pedestrians.

an actual dynamite stick bombed car, that sets your respect for investigation reporters up a long way. The story of Dan Bolles

After getting his college degree and being so awesome the President of the university gave him an award just for being him, he fought in Korea. When he came back home he parlayed his lack of fear of enemy aircraft into a job taking on the mafia. He began writing for the Arizona Reporter, and developed a reputation because he actually reported the terrible things people were doing.

While investigating a real estate deal between the mafia and politicians in Phoenix in 1976, a remote controlled dynamite bomb was detonated, and after 10 days and many surgeries and amputations, the very dedicated reporter, Dan Bolles, was able to declare the dying words “They finally got me, the Mafia. Emprise. Find John.” and the John in question, John Harvey Adamson, was found guilty of planting the bomb, though the man who ordered the hit wasn’t imprisoned for decades. An entire gallery in the museum of news and journalism (The Newseum in Washington) is dedicated to Bolles’ work and memory.
