It was hot shit back in the 50's and 60's to have a TV set in your custom car. Radio telephones were also the ultimate, and I remember riding around in Elektra records corporate limo back in the 60's and calling home......what a treat, and one that's lost on most people today.

You had to push to talk, like a radio. The handset had a button along the inside of the handle. Remember the TV show "Cannon"? He had a phone in his Mark IV and it used to honk the horn when he was away from the car to alert him there was a call coming in. Weird stuff like that has gone away from the public's memory. Just like the cacophony of a entire room full of typewriters at a business.
