I saw a 1060’s something Rolls Royce a couple years ago that had an 8 track as standard equipment...found that interesting...someone had later added a cassette deck, but the built in 8 track was still there.

One of lifes many pleasures is sitting in the driving seat of a Jensen FF, and listening to that wonderful KACHUNK sound, as the 8 track cartridge is pushed into the player....ULRIC WOODHAMS

My mother ordered a brand new 1969 Oldsmobile 442 because she was tired of station wagons. She took me in to help her with the options list. She already knew she wanted power everything and metallic grey paint with black vinyl top and a blue vinyl interior. I added the 8-track tape player and 400 ci V-8. Was a fun car.

Those 1060 Rollses really last a long time. Great engineering.

The most sought after item that would guarantee your car would be broken into. Its as if you kept a gold brick on the front seat nowadays.

In college in the late ‘60s I had a talent for fixing 8 Track carts. It made me some spare change in the dorm, and there was never a lack of work.

I remember when I got my first car with a cassette player in it, in the 1990s (a Maverick), it was better, but not all better, the 8 tracks had their own little (few) good traits.

As a kid in the early 70’s it was the “cool” thing to do was popping an 8 track out of a car, it was a status symbol of how many you could do, and then we would travel to the local flea market to sell them, right out in the open.
