In 1930, Paul Galvin, assisted by William Lear, developed the first automobile dashboard radio and named it the Motorized Victrola, or "Motorola." Although some form of portable AM radio had already existed for some time now, Galvin's invention was the first of its kind. Beginning with the 5T71 prototype, the Motorola company went on to sell millions of car radios.
