   I had an aftermarket cellphone installed in my car   
   in 1990, so, that's the earliest that I remember.   
      
   But that thing was the size of a portable landline   
   handset, and, interestingly, it was hands free for   
   talking (the mike was run by a physical wire to just   
   over the driver's door).   
      
   I don't remember what it used for a speaker, but, I   
   think the speaker was in the handset itself (IIRC).
