- This is the original factory record player in the 1960 Plymouth Fury that was part of the UO contingent in the Portland Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade on June 11, 2011. This was an accessory made by Columbia ("Highway-Hi Fi" model) for Chrysler products.
At first I did not believe it was a factory option until I checked my book. It is true. a 1960 Plymouth convenience option was a "RCA Automatic record player, radio mandatory" The option is listed at $52.00. Nice video , thanks for posting. It is always fun to see these old options
Exactly! I have the correct RCA Victor model in my 1960 Plymouth Fury.
It plays 14 45's upside down in a stack through the radio.
This model was offered in 1960/61.
Nice. I was just researching this in Standard Catalog of American Cars 1946-1975.
awesome!
That is a Highway HI FI player but it was an option for 1956 and 1957 Chrysler products. The correct player for the 60 Plymouth would be the RCA Victor AP1 that played a stack of 45 RPM records not the 16 2/3 rpm player
Lawrence Welk had one in his car in an ad.
i have on my 1960 Plymouth Fury that holds 14 45s upside down in a stack and plays through the radio. this one looks like mid 50s earlier model that was offered.
Am I wrong?
Do you have the record set and case for this? Just curious to see it if you do. I know where one is located with records.
If that's a Highway Hi Fi player by Columbia how is he able to play a 45 rpm record on it? I thought they only played 16 2/3 rpm records. I suppose the motor can be modified to play different speeds.
Because it is not a Highway HiFi. Highway HiFi only lasted until the 1958 model year. In 1960 a 45RPM changer Was optional on Plymouths, but the pictured unit is NOT a changer. Aftermarket 45RPM players for cars were made, and the one in the video almost certainly is one.
are these pretty skip-resistant? after all, it's gotta be able to play while the car is moving...
