C3 Car Phone
Bought this from a vendor at a car show our club visited today near Nashville. I'd never seen one and thought it was a neat conversation piece for $5...as a bonus, it actually works! Pretty good replica over all.

Pretty cool, have not seen that one yet.
I have a 63 SWC a 57 Belair and a 55 T-Bird phone, all new, still in boxes. I got them as door prizes at car shows.

I don't recall ever seeing one of the C3 type. Cool.
I do have a 63 SWC that is black setting on the shelf in the den. I think that is where it's at.

I had one of those at least 15-20 years ago. Exact same model. It really didn't work that well, so I cut the wire off of it and set it on shelf as a display. I think it ended up as a parts car.
I think I do still have a C2 VHS tape rewinder though.

Cool storey behind those phones. Looks like they were used to scam people into attending Florida Property Sales....
