Wish our hoods opened like that
It be a lot easier to check oil, change coils, plug wires, spark plugs, oil filters, etc etc.

Liked this line from it.

"It will only be a matter of time until the reciprocating piston engine is replaced by the highly efficient rotary engine"

video was from the 70s. LOL
