This morning’s CarTune is all about the Motor City. Here’s Detroit’s own Aretha Franklin with her smash 1985 music video that features the city: “Freeway of Love.”

The first single spun from the platinum album, Who’s Zoomin’ Who, “Freeway of Love” spent five weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot R&B chart and earned Aretha her 12th Grammy Award. The song was co-written (with Jeffrey Cohen) and produced by Narada Michael Walden, who constructed much of the album at Detroit’s famed United Sound.

Going for an all-Detroit theme, star video director Brian Grant originally arranged to shoot the performance scenes for “Freeway” on the assembly line at Ford’s Dearborn Assembly Plant, but Aretha abruptly cancelled that plan. Flashing her official diva badge, she had the shoot moved to Detroit’s hot nightclub at the time, Doug’s Body Shop on Woodward near 9 Mile. In the classic bandstand scenes, see how many personalities you can spot: There’s Narada on drums, and of course the big man himself, Clarence Clemons, on saxophone.

Though they were never meant to, Grant’s exteriors for the video, shot all around the city, seem to mesh perfectly with the nightclub scenes. You’ll see a number of Motor City landmarks: the original General Motors Building, the giant Uniroyal tire, the Ambassador Bridge to Canada, and look—there’s the old Goodyear sign on the Chrysler Freeway that kept a running tally of the city’s annual car production. Great song, entertaining video. Have a look.

Back when car audio was a big deal. Ad for early 8-track tape deck and record player.

Early car phones were somewhat like the same-era AC units taking up boat loads of space and power.

"Cambridge" car phone of the early 1960s. Is there a market for cell phones with a retro look?

1979 early portable phone. From the BBC Archive 'Tomorrow's World' collection. Michael Rodd makes a call with an experimental cordless mobile phone. It's 1979 and time for the telephone to go mobile. In this report from a longer programme, Michael Rodd (pictured above) examines a British prototype for a cordless telephone that allows the user to make calls from anywhere. Also included at the end of this item is a rather nice out-take as Rodd also experiences the first mobile wrong number.
