News in Brief: California, Parccar. Now anybody can do it - park a car that is. Another wheel has been added going sideways. It has to be seen to be believed. Interior of car, man turns sort of a knob. Close view of spare tire lowering down from inside of trunk onto the pavement; the spare tire functions sort of as a jack, lifting the other two rear tires off the ground. The car, in a tight parallel parking space, swings its rear out, then pulls easily out of the space. Demonstration of this car's usefulness at home, too - it swings around so that it's easier to back into the garage. Male driver backs the car into garage.
