Hey, in '97 just after I bought my 2nd Fiero, I ran out of gas just north of Trenton, NJ at about midnight with my then 4 yr old son. Forgot about the inaccuracies of the Fiero gas gauge. Long story but after being assisted by NJ State Troopers (always had a fair shake from the NJSP, the Ewing Twsp locals were a bunch of d**k h**ds I only hope somehow this makes it back to them), I was on my way. A few days later, I had Bell Atlantic Mobile install a car phone in the Fiero. God that was the cat's ass back then. When they pulled it in to do the install, all the techs came running to look at this 86 classic. At least, that part was a good memory. Those were high power analogs back then and the service was pretty good.

Edit: add time & Ewing Twsp

Cool video and song. Over the years I have seen Fieros come up for sale that still had a phone installed... which always make me smile.

It would be cool to retrofit the internals of these old phones with new cell phone parts that would allow them to work again! Or just 3D print a case for a new phone that makes it look like headset for one of the older car phones. What better way to freak someone out than showing them an old installed analog cell phone in a car and it actually work!

I have an early 1900's candle stick phone wired for modern land line service. Could it be converted into a car phone, ? Perhaps a newer land line phone. A push button phone from the 70's would raise eyebrows.

Nice - maybe toss them a 'like' (and a subscribe, maybe?)?


Thanks for sharing this

With a MiFi (or some other internet cell provider) & an Analog ATA (that does Pulse to Tone conversion) - I could make this happen. I certainly have enough rotary phones.
