In 1959 the GPO in the UK opened their first Radiophone service in South Lancashire. I recall seeing one fitted in one of the GPO Telephones Sales bosses cars in the late 1960s - Boot Mounted (That would be trunk Mounted in the U.S.) it looked like they needed to uprate the car's suspension.
Later in the mid 1980s we had a "pool" portable cellphone for the office. Looked like a car battery with handset attached and weighed about as much.
