My first year of college I made a friend who drove a Maverick with these amplified 6x9s called mind blower speakers. We blasted Boston and Queen 8 tracks to insane volume levels. ( Probably why today my hearing isn't as good I would have hoped). One summer we took a road trip from California to his home state of Missouri. Being a California kid who lived in the desert his whole life the first time I saw a southern forest I shouted "stop the car" and got out and ran thru it as I'd never seen anything like that before. Then again drugs may have been involved it was college in the 70s. 50 years later we still are friends which is the best part of the story.
Favorite moment with music in your car.
1970. I had one of Norelco’s first car cassette players. I’d connected it to 4 box speakers. Had my honey at my side, driving 8 kids up the hill to school every day. We’re in my yellow 1955 Ford Station wagon, dubbed ‘The Bus’. Music blasting, kids singing along to:
Aretha, Van, Uriah Heep, Supertramp, Beatles, Stones, Black Sabbath, Doors, etc
