Thank Ben for sharing this with the forum, I think it pretty cool myself.

Very cool. Have an idea what it is, just don't know where it is in the picture.

A 45 is a 'Single Play' Record, with each side containing one song. The Record was played at 45 RPM, hence it's name, a 45. Now I'm feeling mighty old here, since I not only know what a 45 is, but I own quite a few of them that I bought brand new

Please look at the first post in this thread. That big thing hanging from the underside of the Dashboard of my Plymouth is the 'Record Player.'

I'm a young one here I suppose but, I still know (and own) several 45's and LPs...

That's a VERY COOL option! Thanks for sharing it with us!

You are among the few who actually know that owning a 45 does not have to refer to a weapon, but instead it refers to a small Record

I know I have a very rare option in my Plymouth, now all I need is a better job that utilizes my antique car hobby knowledge, car knowledge, and basic Computer knwledge, and maybe I'll be able to afford to cotninue owning my Plymouth with it's rare option. After all, 45 years is such a short time to have had a car around, I want to add at least another 30 to that

Thanks for the three thumbs up compliment.

I get quite a kick out of the reaction from people when they see that 'Record Player' in my Plymouth, and an even bigger kick out of it when I play a 'Record' in that Player for them. Of cousre I really floor them when I tell them how long that Plymouth has been owned by our family, like since June 13, 1960.

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

I was thinking how awesome it'd be to have one of those the other day...I have a couple of albums I'd love to be able to play in their original glory (AC/DC - For Those About to Rock, and some STYX ones, too).

Wow!

Do they even still make those?
