Found the original lincoln phone today

[Blenderhead]

I had lost a CD in my trunk cause the case slid forward and fell behind the back seat. Since I was already climbing into my trunk, I figured I would see if there was anything else back there. Well I found one other CD case with 2 CDs in it (previous owner had horrible taste in music) and then I reached down there and pulled out the original motorola phone that came with the car. It has the lincoln insignia on it and everything. I though that was pretty cool finding something like that hiding back there. Considering the car is 10 years old, I'm sure its probably an analog phone, which makes it completely useless, but it was pretty cool finding it. Anyway, any chance anyone would want this thing? If not, I'm going to toss it right back where I found it and let it sit there for another 10 years.

I might be interested just for novelty value. Drop me a p.m. and we'll talk.

It's amazing what you can find back in that little hole back there, I found an extra piece of molding for my car back there. It was the passenger side strip that fills in the gap between the roof and the top of the rear quarter panel. It has one little scratch on it. Don't know why they replaced it, but hey, free parts for me.

yeah,its analog, i have one laying around too.

my dad had his phone active back in 94 when he got the car,it worked really nice,

i always remember him saying"call home" and then the automated voice would say "calling" if it where digital i would activate it and use it now

That's pretty sweet... I wonder if there's a way to integrate a aftermarket bluetooth into the same module... probably easier just to buy a new stereo with bluetooth... all I found was a handful of golfballs and a curtain swatch... I feel ripped off

I had 2 of those phones 93 and my 95 but I sold them on ebay. Worthless to me no function and took up space in the consol.

But Good find...

the 93 in the local pick n pull has the phone in it. im tossing around the idea of picking it up.

 

[Markviiiedrea]

the first thing I did was to chuck that thing out.

I bet that you could switch to bluetooth, but it would be alot of work. I would do it if I knew where to start.

if your cell phone is bluetooth capable,all you need is this
