Let's hope this is all washed out with the Tide.

Now...I have a memory of a car record player which played 45s.   When my 
family visited Greece in 1961,  the fellow we used as a driver had a little 
machine in the dash which did play 45s.  He didn't have very many,  and he 
played and sang along to his fave over and over...it was the  Elvis version 
of  "It's Now Or Never."

Was this a one-of-a-kind thing or maybe of European manufacture?  I know it 
played 45s because I saw and handled the records he had and even at age 8 I 
was already sort of a record collector (three years to go before I started 
78s).

I forget what kind of a car it was...it might have been a '55 or '56 Chevy. 
The record player played the things without any problems or skips....and the 
roads there were not all smooth.
