50 Cent has a car phone in his Olds. I grew up in the 80s and did not know anyone who had a car phone. CBs, yes, but car phones?

My grandfather had a phone in his car because he was a doctor. It was weird, though. It looked like a housephone, but it was attached to the console.

My grandfather had one back in the late 70s, I remember. He was a doctor, so he had to be reachable at all times. I also remember him having this long, silver beeper. I was also fascinated with that as well.
