I'm watching a 1963 movie, The Thrill of it All if you're interested, and there's this rich couples' car with a corded phone in it. Back then, how did mobile or car phones work?

How did they work? Magic of course. Not sure but I think they used a VHF radio back then. I remember some Ham radio operators using hand held phones on the amateur radio band. That was in the 1980s? don't remember, temperal dislexia.
Found this site http://www.mumoh.com/blog/?tag=phone . I like the photo at the botom of the page. Maxwell Smart with his shoe phone. Also a 1924 car with some sort of radio phone.
