What is old is new again.  Radiator shutters.   Now electrically 
operated in place of the operator turning a small crankshaft as in the 
1930s.

How many cars since the 1960's Firebird convertible have damper weights on the 
chassis?

The final frame-related things Wichman and I talked about were the Active Tuned 
Mass Modules, ATMMs, which are essentially little cans bolted to the frame 
rails on either side of the truck, with solenoid-activated weights inside.
