the “brown bomber” “That was what we called our car. It was a 1948 Plymouth that was dull brown and real big, Byron said it was turd brown.” From Mike’s 1940’s Automobile Page @ http://free.prohosting.com/~plymouth/alexp15.jpg
The Ultra-Glide! The Ultra Glide is a record player used in cars from 1957 to 1968. It is the prelude to the CD player. The Ultra Glide came in a kit that could easily be installed. A section pulled out to reveal a record player and a case came with it to store records. It only played 45's.
