ON THIS DAY (68 YEARS AGO) October 12, 1955 - Chrysler introduced hi-fidelity record players, mounted under the dashboard in their 1956 model cars. Their seven-inch vinyl discs spun at 16 2/3 RPM. Sets of 35 classical recordings were available that provided 45 to 60 minutes of uninterrupted music for Chrysler drivers. The players were discontinued in 1961. Following is the Chrysler press release introducing the record player: DETROIT - - Highway Hi-Fi, a record player that provides music and speech as you go, has been developed exclusively for the 1956 Chrysler Corporation cars. This novel addition to the pleasures of highway travel, specially designed by CBS Laboratories as an accessory for Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, and Imperial, was introduced today at the press preview of Chrysler Corporation's new cars at the company's Engineering Proving Grounds.... Highway Hi- Fi plays through the speaker of the car radio and uses the radio's amplifier system. The turntable for playing records, built for Chrysler by CBS-Columbia, is located in a shock-proof case mounted just below the center of the instrument panel. A tone arm, including sapphire stylus and ceramic pick up, plus storage space for six long-play records make up the unit. Using a new principle of design worked out by CBS Laboratories, the player and position of the stylus on a record are not affected by the angle of a car, its highway speed, or even severe cornering. Tests demonstrate it is extremely difficult to jar the arm off the record or even make the stylus jump a groove. The special records also developed by CBS Laboratories, are seven inches in size, transcribed on both sides, and pressed especially for Chrysler by Columbia Records. They give up to 45 minutes of music and up to one full hour of speech per side, A collection of six disks will be presented to customers with each player.

Well, it was like pulling teeth, but after the third go and 6 months FINALLY got my Year Of Manufacture (YOM) plate registration. They ask for and I quote "a color photo copy of the front and back of the plates", well as the base plate is bare aluminum, it copied like crap. Even, the second time, went to the UPS Store for copies, same result, light green stripes on the plate photo copy. Finally sent actual photos and a description from All About License Plates.com and wa-la, got my registration. Colorado is unfortunately becoming more and more Californicated and just as bad if not worse! What ever - got my regi!
