Want to See One of the First Bagged Cars Ever?

[Zic]

Hahaha, Gaws.
I really like the way you carefully decided to make the first post count, in the best of the best threads on S|W.

By the way, my hydraulic setup out of my previous car. I'd love to see one of you smart asses know what the hell you're looking at, instead of talking shit.

Don't give a shit if this is an old topic.

Looks like dump valves and accumulators and a pump.

Don't know shit about hydraulics though.

BTW, this thread is full of lols.

1970 benz 300sel factory air suspension, in addition dont forget semi trucks...air ride is no new thing. Minitruckers pushed the technology and fabrication, without a doubt they can be credited for what it is today.

This is one of the reason I H A T E S|W at times, because immature pricks like most of you'll. This is another case of trollin on a particular user, just like sweet14. Y'all trolled the OPon his bagged thread for the merc not being the lowest of his model and now this. SMH... Some of you assholes need to chill out, this isn't Vortex. So, take that non-community bull elsewhere. I'm quite disappoint with a few of y'all, because I had more respect for your builds and personalities, prior to this thread. Rice4life thanx for your comments btw supporting the OP.


The OP said,

My brother was a minitrucker growing up in the 90s, and he remembers the time that if you had anything, it was hydraulics. This picture was taken from Spring Splash 1997, a minitruck run, where this was the first car anyone had ever seen that was BAGGED. It blew everyone's minds. I thought you might enjoy seeing where the it all began.

@ FunFgang: here's your period proof
Spring Splash 1997

here this was the first CAR anyone had ever seen that was bagged

I agree, I mean there's really no proof of anyone who did it first. It was all about pictures, mags or word-of-mouth.. I'm glad to see one of the pioneers of aftermarket air bag suspension was driving a CB7 haha

Air bags, not factory suspension, air shocks, or hyrdos. Which, is pretty rare. So, being a pioneer of air bagged suspension? I think so!

I wish ppl didn't take the ish so seriously. Just give the man's brother some props for being different and contributing to the aftermarket for suspension. We all needed guys like this to do the abnormal, because without them... where would the auto community be? Just as I bagged my forte--1 of 2 or 1st sedan in the world known to the web--we all have to give the guys who started doing it when it wasn't cool or no no thought it would/could be done mad props for doing it anyways!



O op here's another truck with "possible" air bags

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...
