20 Weird Historical Photos That Will Make Your Jaw Drop

Original caption: Los Angeles, California, ca 1929—This Looks More like the Loop the Loop. Here’s a humpy highway for meandering motorists. It was designed and built by Harry Rocks in Los Angeles, who calls it an “auto thriller” and its unique construction affords a novel trip of 2,400 feet for the autoist who drives his car over its undulating surface. It is shaped like a “U” and supports a speed of 40 miles an hour, although some of the “humps” are ten feet high. This general view of the highways shows the size and construction of his “auto thriller.”
