Justin Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I've seen it in Toronados, but never in a Cutty. It's pretty much an old-school bag phone built into the center console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 The console I got from Slick94 had one.. It only came to me with the phone, mount, and the tower it hooked onto.. I was trying to get it to power on at least through my car's power, because it looked cool.. But the phone itself was dead.. Ah well.. I'm using the parts to make something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockgp Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 hey how about some pics? i can't imagine they were old school bag phones like Justin says, but maybe. Â are you sure the phone is dead? i can post the diagrams if you want to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 That's cool. If they made GPs with them I'd try to find one on ebay or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 'bag' phone mounted in my car. It consists of the phone, and the reciever, control box, module, whatever you wanna call it. I got it because it gets reception where no regular handheld phone would function. I do a lot of 'out of service' driving, so its there just-in-case.

jdcutty Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Yeah, the company Monte Carlo Z34 that I drove at Brunswick had all the hookups for a phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockgp Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 oh i know what it is. both of my parents had one when they were still new. Â i just figured as late as 97 they would have used a built-in unit. you know with an automatic radio attenuator and a mic in the visor or something.

DiscoStudd Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Not to veer off topic too badly, but does anybody remember the "Visor Phone" that Chrysler was schilling back around 10 years ago or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I always wanted a carphone for my car. One of those giant ones, like a brick, that mounted in the center console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Â what you mean like the Zach Morris phone? Â I had a Zach Morris phone, it was my first cell phone. My dad got it for me when I was a junior in HS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcutty Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 The ones that the battery was so big that you had to carry it in a pouch around your waist. The kind where when you would answer it, your arms would barely be long enough to pull out the entire antanae(sp) and when you would put it up to your ear it would throw you off balance from the weight. Â Yeah, I remember those. kinda like this one... http://cgi.ebay.com/Motorola-DynaTAC-8000-Vintage-Brick-Cellular-Phone-1993_W0QQitemZ5814041597QQcategoryZ64355QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitzel Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 If you pull the 1992-era Cutlass Supreme radio out of the console, there is an input on the back for a 'cell phone' if I remember correctly. Â I sure wouldn't mind knowing how to get that input to work with a MP3 player, for example, an iPOD. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitzel Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 ....if only I was in the mood to rip my dash apart.... I swear there is an input on the back of the stock radio/cassette deck, the one with a gazillion buttons. Heck, I'm an EE, I should be able to figure this one out, anyone want to give me an iPOD to play with for a few months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitzel Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'll probably end up getting to the bottom of it. Just got home from an 500-mile drive in the middle of nowhere in Canada this morning -- about 350 of those miles, the only radio station available was an AM 'jesus' station -- yes, only religious broadcasts available, very boring.

1990lumina Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 My grandpa had one in his Lincoln Towncar, and he had it "activated" and everything. I thought it was cool as hell. You flip up the arm rest and the phone was inside. Then you tell the phone who to call after it asks you. I recall the mic was in the visor and the other person talking could be heard through the car's stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
