The Ultra Glide record player was sold in America from the late 1950s to approximately 1968. The Ultra Glide was typically installed on a car's dashboard, playing records smoothly despite car vibrations.
I couldn't find a picture of the Ultra Glide. I did find a magazine article in Popular Science (probably a magazine that Kenny's dad would read) about how to install a record player in your car. Interestingly enough, the cover date of the magazine is October 1963. Since magazines came out 1 to 2 months before the cover date, this could be the magazine that gave Kenny's dad the idea!
