Wow, a car stereo with a large display like that is surprisingly advanced for 1985! I wonder if this is really a CRT, or a multi-segment display made to look like one

I had a 1988 Buick Reatta with a CRT in it. Only had one color in it though... Green....... Looked like a terminal from fallout. I miss that car.
