An 8-Track Cassette Radio Dating Back To The 1970s
If you wanted to listen to some music in the car before 1965, you needed to have a lot of money to install a record player in the car. However, the catch is that it did not make for a nice listening experience since the sound was full of scratching and sniping. It was in 1965 that Ford Motor Company offered an 8-track cartridge player in their sportier vehicles. RCA countered this by releasing their back catalog on cartridges. Made by the private jet industry company Lear Jet Corporation, 8 track cartridges allowed people to listen to their favorite tunes without needing to buy an LP or wait for it to come upon the radio!
