The car was invented in the 1890s, but it wasnt until the 1920s that average Americans started to buy them in droves. The rise of the car created plenty of problems, of course, like a huge spike in deaths from auto accidents and incredible traffic jams鈥攁ccording to the L.A. Times, it took 30 minutes to move just six blocks in downtown Los Angeles during the summer of 1923. But there were also some interesting innovations that came out of this period, like the drive-through retail shop. The December 1928 issue of the technology magazine Science and Invention included this illustration of the futuristic shopping experience.
