The first time you saw a car phone or mobile phone
In the Hey!! Let's get some action going! What are we reading? thread, Hampshire Nanny mentioned that one interesting aspect of The Enemy by Lee Child was that was centered on Jack Reacher's life in 1989 and 1990. "It was interesting she said, "that they had to stop to use a pay phone because cellular phones didn't exist yet."

That put me in mind of an episode of the Adventures of Superman entitled "The Evil Three" in which Perry White makes a phone call on his car phone. Even in 1953 rank had its privileges.
