I've put the Highway Hi-Fi's in 3 cars so far. BUY them if you can find
them. Don't worry if they don't work.
The reaction to the units at cruise-ins is INCREDIBLE. Folks go nuts over
them. Bigger reaction than seeing the hemi under the hood. The latest
project car has its HiFi case painted pink to match the body. Should be a
riot at its first showing (whenever (if-ever) it occurs! Fabbing brackets
sturdy enough to hold it is fairly easy, though usually not pretty. 7"
16-2/3 records turn up on ebay every once in a while...even though most will
either be "the Spoken Bible" or various French tourist attractions/history
tours. Since only the Highway HiFi-specific recordings have the small hole,
just buy some of those snap-in yellow center hole reducers you see on ebay.
Throw a record on the front seat at shows, and nobody will even care if it
doesn't play!
The 45 players are easier to find, and have several versions. I have one
ready (an ARC I think) for the next road-worthy project; whatever that may
end up being. They're slightly less cool in that folks don't see the platter
when peeping in the window...but figure it out when they see a record or two
on the seat.

According to http://www.roadkill <http://www.roadkillontheweb.com/arp.html>

/(..) *The option died at the beginning of the 1957 model year.* It
does show up in some early model year literature and service bulletins.
But getting info about things like the proper brackets to mount them in
1957 model cars is a difficult task. *I have heard reports of them
showing up in cars up to 1959 but they were no longer a factory approved
option as of the first part of 1957*. The dealer could have easily
installed one in a later car as long as it had the top of line radio
with proper plug receptacle on the side.
