Speaking of
Ford dashboards, back in the mid 60's my father owned a
Chevron station in NJ where he sold and installed
Lear 8-track decks. He was quite the entrepreneur and I recall a display in the office that sat on the counter, playing music all the time. It was a cardboard tri-fold with an 8-track and speakers (and a power supply behind it I suppose) to demo the Lear 8-track system. He sold alot of the darn things as I recall. Fast-forward a few years (my father had passed away and the business was sold) I installed a "
Mini-8" tape deck, that I purchased from
Route Electronics on Rt. 22 in NJ, in my '68
Camaro. Made my own tapes too on my friend Charley's
8-track recorder.
