What vehicles of old had actual turntable record players factory installed? I recall seeing pics but my teen yrs started in ‘67 and I’ve never seen one in person.

I was 16 had a ‘71 Lemans sport. My geek friend at school told me to buy a cassette player for it. I had never even heard of one and didn’t know what it was. I bought an 8-track player instead thinking I knew better than him. I learned a valuable life lesson that day to always listen to someone who knows more than me on a given subject. That advice has never failed me to this day.

Never owned one but a buddy had one in a tricked out 59 Ford. It must have been in a different gear, as a 3-minute tune would run through in about 2 minutes. I had no idea the Supremes could sing that fast.

Well I think the 8 track only had four tracts, no? Never thought of why they called it an 8 track when it only had four tracks?

My 8 track decks got stolen too quickly in 1970.

Each channel had 2 tracks, left and right. Therefore you had 8 tracks.
