The Goldberg Brothers - The Inventors of the Automobile Air Conditioner


Here's a little fact for automotive buffs, or just to dazzle your friends.

The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946 , the temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees.

The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter.

Henry was curious and invited them into his office.

They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car.

They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately.

The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent.

The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was installed.

Now old man Ford was more than just a little anti-Jewish, and there was no way he was going to put the Goldberg's name on two million Fords.


They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million and that just their first names would be shown.

And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show --



Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max -- on the controls.

A very devout blond is down on her luck so she prays "God, please let me win the lottery". The next week she hasn't won the lottery and the devout blond is even more down and out so she prays again "God, PLEASE Please let me win the lottery". The next week she is down right desperate and prays "God I need help badly, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me win the lottery".

A gentle voice comes from above... "Help me out here sweetheart, buy a ticket."

Three disciples are out in their boat fishing when they see Jesus walking out on the water. Mathew climbs out and walks out to Jesus, talks to him a moment and walks back, climbing back into the boat.

Mark climbs out of the boat and walks out to Jesus, talks to him a bit and walks back, climbing into the boat.

Luke wants to show he has the power too so he steps out of the boat and promptly sinks. Mathew grabs Luke by the collar, starts dragging him back into the boat, then turns to Mark and asks "You think we should show him where the rocks are?"

Maybe it's just me, but if Bruce is going to go to all of the trouble to undergo surgery and change sexes, he should have changed his name to Kaitlyn Kardashian and gotten bigger boobs than Kim.

Why just keep up with the Kardashians when you can surpass them, not only in notoriety but in cup size.

Speaking of golf...


will Caitlyn be teeing off of the women's tees?
