Default My latest car accessory - a (sort of) historically correct Car Phone

After adding a radio, I guess the next thing to do was to add a Car Phone.

So - I spent the long Memorial Day weekend putting this together: added the brass hardware to a store-bought box, made the foam-padded compartments to hold everything, and wired in a battery pack and on/off switch to power the Bluetooth Gateway that makes this all possible.

End result - I now have a working rotary dial Candlestick Phone for my passengers enjoyment. I don't think I could get away with using it while driving - it's hardly a hands-free device.

Now that is American ingenuity at work! Now you can call ahead to the upstairs Maid to prepare the evening bath!

It certainly does complement the dash mounted radio visable in the bottom picture.
