Re: IML: Old car telephones-source

[Eric Risse <erisse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Phoneco (www.phoncoinc.com) in Galesville Wisconsin
has them in their online catalog, as well as many
other phones of similar vintage to many of our
Imperials. A fun place to visit if your ever near
LaCrosse, WI.
Many old car phones used the same handsets and cases
as conventional phones of the period. Somewhere I've
seen adapters that allow you to hook a conventional
phone (touch tone at least) into a modern cell phone.
Touch tone dialing pads can be added to earlier dial
type phones in many cases too. a 1920-30's Imperial
with a working brass candlestick phone would be super
cool!
