Quebec Bridge opens near Quebec, Canada. At the time, it was the world's longest cantilever truss span in which stiff trusses extend from the bridge piers, without additional support.

The last Pacer is produced by the American Motor Company. The bubble-topped Pacer was a reasonably popular economy car, though its Jetson-styled body attracted flack from car critics and stand-up comedians alike.
