Ford MachMP3

From way back in the year 2000, in the heyday of mp3 sharing. The original Napster was still legal, iPods didn't exist, and most mp3's were only listened to on computer speakers. You are looking at the first in-dash, factory-installed mp3 player, ever. Interesting design challenge since now your CD, instead of 15 tracks, could have 1500+. Winner of the Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award in 2000.
