Where can I buy one?? Totally cool. Brings back memories of our childhood slide viewers.
I thought it was cool too! I had never seen one before. I guess only the rich people could afford them, we were lucky to have gas money...
Never saw anything like that . Nice to see it in a post war Ford. Most likely something like that would have cost real crazy money like upwards of $20. that would have been out of my league.
I was in the same boat of guys looking for gas money also even when it was 11 cents a gallon at the cheap gas stations. The expensive gas stations were getting 14 cents a gallon.
Thanks Jay. In high school four of us would all chip in a quarter and buy a $1 worth of gas. We couldn't go far enough to get lost :003: so no GPS needed. I have never seen one even at the swap meets..
You would need about 10 discs just for Los Angeles county alone. I had one of those as a kid, no city streets though, just dinosaurs. Neat piece.

Not "back in the day".
A little tidbit of info that many folks might not be aware of. The GPS system is military, was designed for military use, provided a "benny" for the civilian population, but is fully capable of denying use to civilians through encryption.
