	I saw one fitted to a Porsche 928 back in the eighties. I was about 8 years old then and it was amazing. To be honest, thinking about it, I'm not sure how it would ever have worked..... Look what i found....

	They are apparently not kind to records, they use a fair bit of needle pressure to resist jumping.
	Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

	Chrysler offered them as a factory option back in like 1958 or 1959. There were a few aftermarket ones about the same time. They sell for insane money now (especially the "proper" Chrysler ones) a quick Google brings up this page: www.uaw-chrysler.com/images/news/phono.htm and www.imperialclub.com/Repair/Accessories/HiWay/Chrysler.htm I've heard same stories of massive needle pressures wrecking your 45s

	45s in your car? You'll be stopping every 5 minutes to turn it over! Just done a bit of looking, it seems the Chrysler device mentioned above used proprietary format records which ran at very low rpm... even if you find a 'Highway Hi-Fi', good luck finding records it can play! This thread previously lacked pictures.

	^ There are companies that will cut you a 16 2/3 rpm 7" disc for your Chrysler Highway Hifi. For a price... I understand that the same speed was sometimes used for audiobooks etc. to increase the playing time - abviously at the expense of fidelity - which is why so many domestic autochangers had a 16rpm setting.
