Any of you old fellers remember this? I'm much to young for this. Had no idea this ever existed. LOL
(Oct 12th 1955)
Today in 1955 the Chrysler Corporation launched high-fidelity record players for its 1956 model year automobiles. Known as Highway Hi-Fi, the record player was manufactured by CBS Electronics and measured about four inches high and less than a foot wide, and it mounted under the instrument panel. Seven-inch discs, made exclusively for Highway Hi-Fi by Columbia Special Products, spun at 16 2/3 rpm and required almost three times the number of grooves per inch as an LP.
Chrysler discontinued the players in late 1958.

And the padded dashboard mounted with a rear-view mirror that was useless.
I never understood and attraction for the tranny buttons.
As for the record player, J.C. Whitney sold one for about $45 bucks that used standard 45's

Awe come on Franc. It was before mirrors on the underside of sun visors. For the ladies to put on lipstick and whatnot. LOL
Made more sense to have just one key.
That is a 1931 Model A Ford they are leaning on. My first car was the same.
That's a pretty famous picture.
A quick internet search says the two men in front, the one on the left is John Jacob Astor. Right might be his cousin William, owner of the Hotel Astor.
John Jacob Astor, owner of the Waldorf-Astoria, would go down with the Titanic on April 14, 1912.
