This day in music history.

July 28, 1929, Paul Galvin, the head of Galvin Manufacturing Corporation, invented the first car radio. The first car radios were not available from carmakers. Consumers had to purchase the radios separately. Galvin coined the name "Motorola" for the company's new products combining the words motion and radio. In the early thirties when car radios began to gain in popularity they came under fire for being a distraction to drivers and were blamed for causing accidents.
