Oblique Elan reference on TV
Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2019 6:36 am
I was watching a US TV show: "Real Time with Bill Mahre" which is a political satire show and Bill was making a. point about how people(in particular politicians) and things evolve and we shouldn't take people to task for changing their earlier positions and becoming more enlightened over time.
All of a sudden to prove this point, they show an 8-track cassette player in a dash and declare you don't castigate this for not being a satellite radio. The 8 track was consistent with the times and widely accepted.
Sure looks like an Elan dash to me. Am I wrong?
BTW: I did have an 8 track in my Elan (positioned in the back board behind the seats). The hole is still there but carpeted over. Now, having evolved, I have a bluetooth player hidden in the trunk - driven by my iPhone. But, I don't really listen to it much, preferring just to listen to the car.
