Record players for cars have been around for a long time. The first one I saw was in N. Africa in the late 1960's. It was a 3rd party french add-on that only played 45 rpm records, and the owner had a huge pile of 45's in the back seat. The 3-axis spring suspension was a real Rube Goldberg design that some PLC vendors actually used for industrial HDD's in the 1990's. Although very uncommon, car record players were even available in the 1950's. https://thenewswheel.com/before-cd-cassette-players-in-car-record-players/ https://thenewswheel.com/before-cd-cassette-players-in-car-r... .
