RE: [DML] Adjustable Door Struts

["Murray Fisher" <murrayf@xxxx>]

While we are "doodling" for something to operate our doors. How about
hydraulics. I had a new 48 Packard Convert (exactly like on BTTF) and it
had a hydraulic pump in the engine compt on the firewall with tubes running
everywhere.....first car I ever had with hydraulic windows, seat and
top....tremendous power in a small cylinder. Same were used on Fords in
those days. One time I sat on a window edge as I pushed the button and it
raised me right up in the air! Much power!! Would require safety
features of course. No opening of doors at 140MPH!!

Also our daughter came back from Japan a few years ago and said the Mercedes
car her host family owned had a gadget I would love....The grandpa pressed a
button up front and CLOSED the rear doors......she said also they were on
Taxi's they rode there....of course that would not need the pressure ours
would take.
Just thoughts FWIW.
