Well I guess I need to retrain again. My 1st car had an AM radio and then my 2nd car had an AM/FM one. As I hit my 3rd car it had an AM/FM/ 45 RPM record player then followed up with a stereo AM/FM/8 track player. We then passed into the AM/FM/cassette followed by the addition of the CD player. By the way somewhere in between came the satellite addition. Now yesterday I picked up my new pick up truck and low and behold besides AM/FM I now have ipod/iphone and Android integration with BT capability. So now I have a few dozen 45 rpm' , 8-track tapes , cassette's , and CD's. Before you know it I'll have a box of thumb drives to add to the collection. Maybe I should just turn everything off and just listen to the exhaust.

HAPPY NEW YEAR all and ride into the future with fun and enjoyment.

 

Some of us are old enough to think having a crystal radio in there was "rad"

 

Hilarious post! You had a car with a record player in it?

 

Must have been a Rolls, they were always bragging about their smooth ride.

 

Yep I installed it and every time you hit a bump it would skip. It was great at the drive in moves and some of the beer parties we had . LOL.

 

You're lucky; my wife's first vehicle (buckboard) needed a telegraph cable permanently attached to receive anything.
Yes, she's much older than I.

 

Hee hee, I think I remember an episode of "Jay Leno's Garage" where he had a car in his collection that had as 45 player in it! Fuzzy dice may have been an option then too!

Personally though, I do appreciate the USB capablity in the wife's Lincoln. We just came off a holiday trip and were able to listen to vinyl LP's I recorded last year. About 200 albums on one single flash drive.....and one record skip!

 

Are you DJ Smooth's big brother? That is awesome, a guy on the BMW forum had a 645 and put a DJ system in the trunk for car shows. Your post reminded me of DJ Smooth's ride:

Oh I just remembered as I saw something that reminded me of it. I had tried this unit in my 63 Corvette . It was called a reverberator box which was like an Eco chamber. It went in between the radio and the speakers. It looked like it had a bunch of wires in it. It was pretty cool at the time but it made a crashing noise when you hit a hard patch of road . OK I'm done.
