Watch those potholes...

...or this won't be as much fun as it looks.

Totally weird. I saw something on those on some car show I was watching.  I guess it would have been a lot like getting one of the first in dash CD players back in the 80s.

Those were de rigueur in the Forward Look years. Due to the high stylus pressure they didn't skip as much as you'd think when hitting bumps but the high stylus pressure wore out vinyl discs prematurely.

Didn't a lot of them spin at a proprietary rpm as well?  Which could have really limited your disc choices if its true.

16 2/3 rpm acording to the ad, that's a bit obscure even for those days.

I didn't know about the high stylus pressure.  I guess with vinyl you just can't keep adding pressure to prevent skips as it'll cut into the record.  Still looks way cool though.

Remember the first cd players for your car? Those things would skip when you sneezed.

These aren't unique to Mopars. I saw one on a Furd product a few years ago at a cruise night.

A friend of mine had a 57 or 58 300 with a record player in it.
