https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/...-record-player
“In the winter of 1956, Chrysler unveiled a series of improvements to their lineup of automobiles. There was LifeGuard, a latch that prevented doors from flinging open in the event of an accident. New windshield wipers promised to clean 10 percent more of the glass surface than the previous year’s model. And for those consumers willing to spend an extra $200—the equivalent of about $1700 today—there was the Highway Hi-Fi, a factory-installed record player mounted under the car's dashboard.”

I have won the odd bet saying cars had record players. Obviously you played them parked and be the top of the range luxury vehicles

When my father lived and worked in West Germany in the 1960s he owned a VW Beetle fitted with a record player.

Didn't Holden or Ford do something similar in the 60's?
A picnic record player accessory or something, plugged into cigarette lighter ( remember those).

I can remember seeing a upright TEAC real to reel in a motorhome.
I think the automotive designed record player had a cover which fitted neatly over the top and held the stylus down on soft rubber block so it could be used in motion without bounce. one here for sale on US ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/15541702799...wAAOSwHz1j8k6C
