The success of the 8-track tape in the 60s and 70s over other technologies can be attributed to the Ford Motor Company. In 1964 The 8-track format was developed by an unlikely group, Bill Lear of Lear Jet Corporation, along with Ampex Magnetic Tape Company, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Motorola and RCA. Also known as Stereo 8, the first player was released in 1965 and in September of 1965, Ford Motor Company introduced factory-installed and dealer installed eight-track tape players as an option to buyers on three of its 1966 models – the Thunderbird, Mustang, and Lincoln. All of Ford’s vehicles offered this tape player upgrade option on the 1967 model. Through the 1980s optional eight-track players were available in many cars and trucks. Eight track cartridges were phased out in the retail stores in the United States by late 1982. Some titles were still available as eight-track tapes through various mail-order clubs until late 1988.
