In the mid-60s, there were roughly a half-dozen players in the American audio industry.
They included Fisher, H.H. Scott, Altec Lansing, JBL, Marantz...and McIntosh.
If you had the financial capacity, you owned McIntosh or (the less expensive) Marantz.
McIntosh had a classy look that it carried for decades. Black glass panels (ads used to show technicians cleaning those panels) with chrome side trim, "Pan-Loc" buttons and blue illumination.
Great sound and unique look. All American and highly prestigious.
(The Japanese equipment...came later and to general jaundiced reception).
The use of McIntosh (no longer the same company but same classic appearance) was a fitting choice for a car meant to represent the style and thinking of "the day."
