Eric;
Without any further research I can't say whether
these units ever had a transmitter but I would guess not, this would involve a
lot of unnecessary electronics since the radio is only a foot
away. The lead that looks like an antenna jack is
likely an RCA style jack for the phonograph pickup. Some of these record
players, at least the CBS Columbia type, had a vibrator power supply circuit
built into them in order to operate a 60 C ac motor off of the 12v dc system in
the car.
A 65' Crown is a little too new for a 45
player, car record players had generally run their course of popularity by
1962 or so. Although an interesting gadget they are of very limited use, bumps
in the road tend to make then skip around. For 1965 a four or eight track
player might be more in keeping with the car and a little more usable. 1965
might be a bit early for an eight track player as an original factory
instalation, Ford had them first, but aftermarket units were common
enough. Many have the same sort of square chrome trim found in car
dashes of that era. If you can find an old 60's Lear Jet Stereo 8
unit, that would work perfectly with the car.
