That was a mandatory add-on, those cars all came stock with just an AM radio.
Truth be told, my best friends first car, a 1964 Ford Falcon station wagon, which I drove quite a bit because I got my driver's license several months before he did, had a 4-Track stereo in it. This was our first surf buggy, his Dad gave it to him when he turned 15, another older friend drove until I got my license, and we cruised the SoCal coast like crazy in that thing, everywhere from Santa Barbara to San Diego. We couldn't afford to upgrade to an 8-Track, and only had two 4-Track tapes. We had Led Zeppelin II and Cream - Heavy Cream, so incredibly good tunes, and we wore those things out.
Here's a little blurb about the 4-Track if anyone's interested, because I know most people have never heard of them:
4-Track Tapes - 8-Track Heaven
The 4-track tape cartridge format had a head start over 8-tracks. Developed in 1956, the 4-track format was originally forsaken as unmarketable. It lay dormant until the early '60s, when enterprising Earl Muntz saw its potential. He acquired rights to the format and began marketing both players...

4-Tracks must have been a California thing, because I installed an 8 track player in my first car as soon as I could. In fact, one of my high school graduation gifts was a home 8-track player. Never heard of 4 track. I think it must have been like "Quadraphonic" tapes and players. I understand that they got kinda big in California, but hardly made a dent here in the Midwest. I bought an Audiovox quadraphonic player and picked up what tapes I could. The sound was phenomenal!That was a mandatory add-on, those cars all came stock with just an AM radio.

What's a seat belt?
I used to keep score bowling on one of these.
My best friend growing up in Louisiana, his family owned the bowling alley in town. There were no electronics in the place, we had to score by hand. My kids still think it's weird that I keep a scorecard when going bowling.I used to keep score bowling on one of these.

Been putting the last few weeks with a Wilson Staff 8802 that I bought back in 1983.
You probably bowl with one hand as well? WTH is that all about?

I was pretty excited when ESPN launched.
Just told a co-worker about the 84 Olympics in LA. He said wow really? That was 13 years before I was born.....
When I took computer science in Uni we had to type our own punch cards.
My first car was ‘64 Ford Falcon station wagon! But I didn’t even know you..lol.
These were the state of the art woods in my bag circa 1971. My buddies were green with envy.
Not kidding. Doing some cleaning in the basement today and found a box with these!!
Charge the 2 iPods to see if they still work & what’s on them.
