Hello? Oh good, good, how are you? Yeah I'm just talking to you FROM MY CAR! Yeah I'm just on the side of the road right now on my car phone that's connected to my car. Sorry, you can probably hear the traffic because I'm literally just standing on the sidewalk right now talking to you on the phone in my car. Oh goodness yes, a small fortune! But it's worth it for all the business I do.

How did it connect?

Man: Ok, so, there's absolutely no room for my suitcases in this car, the trunk has just enough room for a small woman's purse, there's no back seats and the engine takes up half the length of the car.. oh and the phone only works when I'm standing outside the car.

The car phone is cool, but what’s that little trike thing parked across the street?

There's some interesting information on early radiophones here.
