Bumps, Skips, Records and Cars
My friend Stan is visiting from New York City this weekend. We are snowed in here in Pittsburgh - more than 24 inches fell overnight. Beautiful. But one of the fringe benefits of a big snow storm is that, after shoveling, and hiking, you sit around the living room, drinking coffee and tea, and talking!
So, naturally conversation bounces around and includes vinyl records and this blog. I read Stan the latest entry on car stereos record players and he says, I think there was a car that had a vertical slot for records, but I'm not sure when or which car.
Is Stan dreaming or was there a car that had a slot for records?
I think I found it: it was a Phllips.

Here is a link to a piece on the Chrysler's 1960 RCA 'upside down' car record player, too.

None of the them seem to have to have woked to well...something about bumps and skipping!
