From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, October 17, 1926: A radio controlled “Ghost Car,” operated without driver or passenger, will make its first appearance in the Midwest during a week-long series of demonstrations around Indianapolis as a feature of the second annual radio show. One of the most unusual inventions of the radio age, the “Ghost Car” is stationed a couple hundred feet in front of a second car which is officially known as Station 2XAX, a licensed radio station. Through a series of radio wave impulses sent from the rear car, the “Ghost Car’s” motor is started, its gears are shifted, the horn is blown, the lights are turned on and off, and the car is run forward and backward, all by radio control. The “Ghost Car” can be seen daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. at various locations.
