Fun fact: The original TV show was marketed in Asia as "The Kato Show" because Bruce Lee as Kato was just that much more popular than whoever the guy was who played Green Hornet.

Only comment on this I have is that old cars actually had record players in them and the level of science, engineering and precision it took to make a record playable while driving down uneven roads was badass. It's that kind of thing that makes old cars have so much character because the designers actually gave a damn.

@bandwagon240 Жыл бұрын

My grandfather was a radio lab engineer for Chrysler during the 50's. One thing he couldn't solve is the skipping due to bumps or lateral g-forces without damaging the record itself. This is why the option was extremely short lived, 55-57 if memory serves. By the time this 1966 Chrysler Imperial came out, there was no record player option. OP's comment is correct, just not for the specific year this car was built.
