AnswerGalvin Manufacturing Corporation founders Paul Galvin and Joseph came up with the idea of putting radios in automobiles in the the 1930s. In 1928 they began selling Battery Eliminators which allowed battery powered radios to use a regular electrical outlet. The idea for a radio in an automobile came later, their first model called a "Motorola". They later changed their company to the same name.

Unofficial/undocumented Answer:

Neal Kyser McNaughten (and probably others) Although there is no documentation to prove it, my father, Neal Kyser McNaughten, born in 1911, built a radio into a Model T some time in the late 1920s. It had a paper cone and used it's own dry cell since the car had no battery. He claimed that it was particularly of interest to the young ladies...

At the 1910 Worlds Fair in Chicago 2 men installed a tube type radio in a automobile. As common record players at the time were called "Victrola's" the men called their invention a "Motor-ola". Their invention became very popular at the time for the elite people that could spend quite a sum of money to have one in their car. Hence the word "Moto-rola" evolved into the "Motorola" corporation that is still very alive now.
