Also not something that's going to work well while driving

Here is an article on the Chrysler "Highway Hi Fi", the picture of Welk shown at the bottom of the page is the only one I remember seeing.

Thanks, jr. That's the photo I was remembering. And very interesting history of the Highway Hi-Fi!

You're quite welcome... for grins, I poked around a bit more and found the *actual* issue on a very interesting site that appears to have tons of the magazines that some/many here might remember.
