My New Car Phone

So - I decided to spend the long weekend doing something productive - adding a Car Phone to the Model A!

Of course, not just any car phone would do - it has to be somewhat period correct.

Thanks to the Xtreme Technologies Corporation, I'm able to have a working rotary dial candlestick telephone in my car.

Their Bluetooth Gateways allow a wired telephone to act as a Bluetooth handset and also have the nice feature of converting rotary pulses to touchtone.

So - I spent the weekend adding brass hardware to a store-bought box, adding foam-padded compartments (with a micro-corduroy cloth covering), and wiring an on/off switch and battery pack to power the gateway.

End result - you can make (and receive) telephone calls from the car.
I don't think I'll be using it while driving, though - it'd probably not be considered a hands-free device...
