Those were the days. I had my Marketing company contracted them to carry one of my parts for about a year between 77-78.
I remember when cars had...

You can just turn the car around if it is on the side, but if it is on the back it would always be quite a distance out.
How about the FM radio tuner that could be installed that transmitted to the presumably factory AM radio.

Haha. When I was a young boy in the early '60's, my older brother had a '57 Chrysler. I remember the radio in it was huge, and it had vacuum tubes. He must have put a newer radio in it at some point, because I got to play with the old radio. I would hook it up to a power supply in the driveway and watch all the tubes warm up and start glowing that warm yellow-orange color.
There were a lot of people then, that still drove cars from the fifties. Many of those ran on 6 volt systems and had generators instead of alternators.
When I was 17 I inherited my grandfather's '64 Chevy II. The transmission was a two speed Powerglide.
Through the '60's, every car I was familiar with had the air vents on the outside wall of the passenger and driver footwell. I didn't know anyone back then that owned a car with A/C.
Three speed with overdrive. The kind that over a certain speed you lifted up on the gas and it dropped it in. It could be used on second gear also, giving five speeds. Even back then people didn’t know how to use overdrive correctly.
No radio at all, just a metal plate where one would go. A/C, of course not. Some luxury cars had A/C from the back with two plastic tubes coming up behind the rear seat. I guess the A/C unit was in the trunk.

The NAVY recruiter had a station wagon that he used to take people to take the ASVAB test, had the rear facing seat, loved riding rearward.
