I know they never came with USB ports but. Most phones are multi functional. The batteries seem to always need a charge. The phones being used by the passenger taking photos, answering questions, giving and getting directions , etc. And ultimately calling for HELP. They all use USB connections. Has any one tastefully or not added a USB connection to their replica?
Before the age of everyone having a cell phone and GPS , 1977. My car broke an axle on my way home from work. I had to leave the car on the on ramp of the highway to get to a phone. Imagine winter in Washington, dark, wet, and cold. Calling family who had never been where I was. I didn't have much money on me. so I bought a beer and nursed it while waiting so I wouldn't have to leave and go out in the weather.
The car was a 56 Bristle with no side windows or heater. It took hours before they could find me. It took hours until my rescue came. A cell phone then would have save bunches of time, they didn't have a cell phone either They had to go all the back to get updates from me.
