I think they were meant to be played while the vehicle was stopped... you know, like "back seat action time".

I have heard of a record player in a car. It actualy worked "upside down" and hung from under the glove compartment. Dang, I can't remember the car though.
Rocky Covington of Amway (Quickstar) fame had one at the same time he lived in a house with mushrooms growing up from the carpet.

My dad had a new Chrysler 300 around 1960,had a record player under the center of the dash,was mounted on a spring base and played 45 RPM records.Worked fairly well unless you hit a pretty good size bump.Now that car had some power.Had transmission control buttons on the steering wheel.

Watch the first 5-10 minutes of the movie Quiz Show. They show the main character buying a 1957-ish Chrysler with the record player. Total 1950s decadence.

I've gone to many car shows and never have noticed one ever installed or for sale. This I take it was a Chrystler thing only? I tend to look mainly at FLM and skip everything else. I guess I'll have to broaden my viewing at the shows...

I can remember them as dealer installed options then. Even recall J.C Whitney had them as well. Yeah, worked a lot better parked. But then 4 track cassettes came along...

some info on the auto record players. seems although they were 45 rpm in size, they only played at 16 2/3 rpm so they could get about 60 mins per side of music.
