Information
Most of us can’t imagine our life without cars. These trusty pals transport us between home and work, carry our families and friends, and take us on amazing getaways.

(Sure, they make strange noises and have strange smells sometimes, but what friend doesn’t?)
Still, how much do we really know about our cars—or the driving experience? Take this quiz to find out!

3. Question
In 1941, Henry Ford made a car that weighed 1/3 less than regular cars. He used:
Correct
The “Soybean Car” was a plastic-bodied car that was said to have been made partly from soybeans (though no record of the chemical formula remains today). Still, this car was an example of Ford’s innovative thinking; he wanted to combine elements of the automotive and agricultural industries and thought that a plastic-panel body would be safe—and could stand in when metal was in short supply.
