Hemp Car, It’s Hippie Approved

Posted on: June 12, 2009

Remember the good ol days?  When Bert and Ernie were just friends? When Coke had cocaine? When guys didn’t wear pants that cut off their balls? Me neither. But back in the day, cars used to be cars. In 1941 Henry Ford introduced his hemp car to the world. Ford used resin stiffened hemp fibre and ethanol from hemp to power the car. The hemp fibre was so strong that it could even withstand an old guy hitting it with some sort of pick axe. Don’t believe me? See the clip after the jump. I dare ya.
