The CD player ruined it.

It should be a CED player instead.

"It should be a CED player instead."
I think 8-track would be more apropos.
I highly disagree though slightly agree with you.
1) The player he used is not vintage.
2) Should he decide to install a CD player it shall be a vintage 1982 Sony CDP-101 that is about the same age as the (Circa '82) Sears Atari and TV. They show up on ebay for about $10.
3) Alternatively, a Sony D-50 from 1984 could be substituted. But don't expect those to survive road bumps very well. Grrll-grabblesslsssszzzzz...the beat goes...bzzzzzzdd..on.

Laserdisc.
I disagree, an 8 track just wouldn't have been pimp in 1981, on the other hand successfully convincing your un-belted passenger to load the cutting-edge 12" CED cartridge into a glove mount player then tweaking the fine tune on channel 3 is priceless.
Some cars like the late 1960's Mercury Comet had spring mounted record (LP) players in the trunk as a factory option.
