Parking by Braille

Back in the day, right-front dents were extremely common due to the high hood lines that blocked the driver's view of the offside fender -- an obvious hazard in close quarters. Even though this had been a major consumer complaint for many years, it took stylists until the late '40s to begin to flatten hoods and raise fender lines to the point that the right front corner of the car came into the driver's field of view.
