back in the day.My father bought a car that had no radio.When my brother learned to drive he said I'm putting sound in this.Bolted an 8 track under the dash,speakers in the rear deck.All set ,now the tunes.Brother had a progressive taste.The flavor of the day was Beatles,Hendrix,Dylan .You name the rest.When I would take a ride with my father there was only one tape he would play(like).I remember one day he asked me to han him a tape.I gave him Are You Experienced . He said I don't care for that one give me..I must have listened to this hundreds of times.Then he bought an Irish Rovers tape.....no more rides with dad.

Doc's dad had outstanding taste in music. I also bolted an 8 track to the dashboard of my first car, 1961 Impala.

I also started with a 61 Impala. My girlfriend sewed seat covers made of worn blue jeans. Sold that and bought a Dodge R/T with a 440 magnum 4 on the floor. Fastest car in my high school...
