The original tilt wheels were intended for morbidly obese Americans (which 
describes more and more of us these days, sadly) to be able to get into and 
out of their cars more easily.   Popular on late '60s Fords (including 
Shelbys, which tells you how far away from the Shelby philosophy Ford went when 
they took over Shelby Mustang production in 1967...)
