Artifact Overview

Power steering allows drivers to control their cars with minimal effort. Assisted-steering mechanisms had been available for some time, but only after the Second World War did they become widespread on American cars. This 1952 brochure touted power steering's benefits -- safety, control, and ease of parking -- as available on new DeSoto vehicles.
