In 1951, power steering made its debut in a production car! The innovation was introduced by Chrysler on its luxury model, the Chrysler Imperial, under the name Hydraguide.

Power steering dramatically reduced the effort required to turn the wheel, especially at low speeds, making driving more comfortable and accessible to a broader audience. It was a game-changing technology that quickly became a standard feature in most cars, revolutionizing the driving experience and paving the way for modern steering advancements like electric power steering.
