I made a joke the other day about cars with vinyl players in them, then absently looked up to see if they were made, and yep
God I can't imagine a better way to fuck up some vinyls. This is hilarious.

I seem to recall one of them being a plot point in a civil rights era historical fiction book I read in like 6th grade
can't wait to leave my car in the sun on accident while I run into a diner and come back out to my vinyls melted all over my front floorboard
great design, perfect, no notes
i wonder how stubborn they could get with coming up with wackier and wackier stabilization mechanisms, predating the woes of the "skipless" cd player by however many years these came out before CDs were a thing.
gotta admit, I don't hate the look entirely. Like its silly but....maybe I just long for analog entertainment in the car. can't slap a touchscreen on that (oh god maybe you could but i dont want to think about that).

Edit: googled it
That first pic is certainly a mounting method. Get some hurricane straps, bend em in half and you're good to go.
holy moly the enormous chrome-plated lever in that first one. what do you suppose it does?
they didnt use conventional LPs, they used a 16 2/3 RPM disk (standard is 33 1/3 RPM) and had differently shaped grooves
Oop thats not a highway hi-fi unit thats the later version that could play standard 45 rpm singles (and royally fuck them up because of the extremely high stylus pressure)
way more grooves per inch and something like 1/3d of the groove width of a standard lp
