Chrysler brands offered this. Don’t know whether any 45rpm could be used.

I also put reverberation systems into my father's cars in the middle 50's.  To his chagrin.

The record player in a moving vehicle left something to be desired. So Mr Lear - of Lear Jet fame - invented the eight track player. Had one in a car, and one in a Sony stereo component set.

The eight track system was adapted to broadcast radio and television and used for various station break and public service announcements. The announcements were edited to length with a precision single edge razor and glue. At the station where I worked the eight track system remained in use well past the point where others had converted to solid state systems.

Is that the Brazilian Volkswagen sports coupe?

I think I saw one at a Porsche Club meeting back in the early 1980s.

It does have a distinct Italian designer look to it, but so did every sports car back in the day.

Like most, I was underwhelmed.  Italian styling, Beetle performance.

And, yes, it's orange.  :ack2:

I like it as well, but I looked it up.

It basically used Type 3 running gear.

Not exactly sports coupe performance.

Now, had they put the Porsche 2.2 liter into it, that would have been something.

The car is relatively light and a lot of power can be wrung out of a Bug engine. It would never be a fire breather, but it could be a lot of fun.
