Do they still make these????

[abunaitoo]

I don't think so, but never know.
Plug in car heat.
It still works.

I know they don't make these anymore.
Young people might not know what it is.

I had a 12v heater. It didn't put out enough to provide heat for a match box much less a car. I believe that I ditched it.

I have never seen one. Had a few of the bottom players but have not seen a used one this century. I thought you were referring to a plug in 120 V heater to warm a car in the winter.

[Winger Ed.]

I'd never seen one.

Of the cars that even have a lighter any more, it would probably be on a 20amp fuse.
I guess it would plug into the new generation 'power port' but typically, they're on a 20 amp fuse too.

With a heater & fan both, I would expect it would only work to much of a degree if held your hand on it.

Ha, my parents had someone break in, some years ago, and one of the few things that got stolen was some 8 track tapes they had.

[KCSO]

Used one in the 67 VW which had an awful heater.

Yes, look in places specializing in UTV/side by side accessories. I have one for mine that works well.

The heater is so small, I doubt it would keep you warm when it snows.
It does blow warm air.
8 tracks were great.

They still make 12volt car heaters.

They still suck.

You can still buy 8 tracks and tapes

I remember the 8 track tape case I had. It was about 8" x 8" and 20 inches long. It had imitation alligator skin as a covering.

I had one just like that.

Looking at the amazon listings, I saw something that looks like it.
It's used for defrosting the windshield.
Now that makes sense.
I think it would work well for that.

You can still buy 8 track tapes.......not sure about the tape decks though.

[ioon44]

I still have an old real to real with a 8 track and 8 track tapes, I should dig it out and see if it still works.

I guess I was ahead of my time. Back when everybody was hot on 8T tapes in their cars, I had a Craig stereo under-dash player! I worked in a stereo store and had access to many current release "demo" record albums, so I would record them to cassettes and have excellent sound in the car. 8T's have horrible frequency response! I still have a home stereo 8T recorder/player! But the capstan belt, as with most of the 70's and 80's stuff, is rotten. Not worth fixing to me. Just a conversation piece sitting on a storage shed shelf.

Friends back in college that drove Beetles generally had one of those heaters because the cold Midwest winters were a challenge to VW heaters, if they existed at all! Froze my keister off many times going to keggers! Thank goodness for the "antifreeze" I had in my blood stream.

Back in the day I had several vehicles that the heater core leaked on so they got bypassed in the summer. Anything that gave of even a smidgen of heat would have been welcome in the winter.
