When Vinyl Hit The Road
Before the days of cassettes or eight-track tapes in automobiles, Chrysler Corporation introduced an on-board entertainment option that included a small turntable along with an amplitude modulation (AM) radio. First introduced in 1955 on several 1956 models, the record players were located under the dashboard. The turntables were capable of playing the standard 45-revolutions-per-minute (RPM) vinyl records of the day as well as a new format that was created especially for car phonographs. The technology could not overcome uneven road conditions, however, and the record players were scrapped by the following year.
These unit were available on Most Chrysler products that year including Plymouth, Dodge, Desoto, Imperials, and Chrysler. They were positioned under the dashboards as pictured above.
A friend of mine has one of these in his Classic 56 Plymouth but doesn't play it since the record got warped from the sun.
