How far of a range did car phones have in the seventies?

    Zilch, as they didn’t really exist back then.

    A few very privileged individuals had access to radiophones which were really just clumsy two-way radios. Even in the few cities and towns where they worked they had a very limited range and appalling call quality in terms of transmission and reception

    Proper carphones for the masses didn’t really start to appear until the mid to late 1980s..
