Airborne Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I am looking for a good looking 8 track player for my 51 Fleetline. I just don't know what brands look best. I am hoping someone knows about these things and can help me find on with some chrome, flat faced possibly with knobs on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 http://www.ebay.com/itm/BOMAN-ASTROSONIX-FM-CAR-STEREO-8-TRACK-PLAYER-BM-I950-/260866816233?pt=Car_Audio_In_Dash_Receivers&hash=item3cbcdfb8e9#ht_2850wt_890 I don't think there will be a lot of people on this board that can recommend a good 8 track player because they were not born yet. Last 8 track player I seen in a car was back in 1978 in an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

Hotdog Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 What I have seen done in classic cars is to have a false face with a 8 track player look but it flips down or can be pulled right off with a nice CD player behind it. That way you get the old look but the new sound.

I want one with knobs so I can put mu hydraulic switches there with the knobs are and use the plastic knob it's self to cover the switch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbondox Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 just going to point out that 8 track was not created until 64... so being in a 51.... might draw attention by a pissy judge if you ever show your car at an event... I think it would be cool and yes, we install cd players in vehicles from wayback.... Also I have about 100 8 tracks in my attic, can't seem to get rid of them, they might make a come back....
