My dad used to have one that looked almost exactly like this in his truck when I was a kid. I remember riding with him while he was arguing with whoever he was arguing with and watching the astonished faces of the people in the surrounding cars. I even used it sometimes. It sounded very staticky, like an old walkie-talkie.
