Why is the storage compartment so bloody big? What are the long plastic fingers for top and bottom?

It looks like something should go in there but all the cars I've seen with them, all are empty.

Just wondering, like you do when you're bored in the winter...

You mean this?



Cassette holder

 

Yep, sodding huge and ugly. Surely the Ford designers had more of an imagination in the 80's.

 

Thanks for making a lot of us feel old!! They don't even remember cassettes for God sakes, lol.

 

As Fords fitted these cars with radio/cassette players this is why they have the storage slots.Ideal size to fit gauges/dvd screen in.

 

pulled it out and fit a Ford amp to control bass treble etc for the standard player, fits in that space and has a different surround.

 

I remember cassettes! I'm knocking on 37! Don't remember them being that big....

Or was the idea to just chuck them in there like a bin?

 

get some tapes slapped in there lookin retro.... right said fred etc
