I've seen a few consoles from Magnavox, Zenith, and RCA that used 8-track players that were somewhat decent; but, 8-track players in consoles didn't become widespread until around '70 or so. By that time, the quality of consoles had sharply declined and by the early '70's, most consoles were nothing more than particleboard/plastic jobs that contained the cheapest electronics from Taiwan or Korea that they could stick in there. The few particleboard consoles that I've brought home in recent years usually left a trail of sawdust when the stereo was moved.
