On the phone while driving, been doing it for years! (OT)

Today I learned about an accessory that is probably harder to come by than the coveted clocks you guys post about. ;) Anyone care to guess the year the car phone came out?

1946!

Didn't read it, but there's a few pictures, and a picture is worth a thousand words, so it's kinda like reading... :P

I just got done installing my Prewar orginal Western Electric phone in my 40 Plymouth..

I put a small mp3 player that when picked up will ring and a special operator voice asks you to hold ..while she connects your call then after all that it has a prerecorded massage that says I'm sorry the number you....

I made a special bracket that bolts undr the seat and goes between the seats .

Big hit at the shows and showing this item.. DANiel
