Playing CD in a car is likened to playing a phonograph in a car in a recent
comment here.  It has been done.  I have dim (~20 years ago) memories of
record players in the dashboard.  I haven't any recollection of having heard
one, but presumably they (generally) tracked by a combination of high
tracking force and spring isolation.  I'm pretty sure it only played disks in
the 8" format.  This predates any reasonable tape alternatives (the 8-track
was invented by Mr. Lear (also inventor of a small jet) specifically as a
better mousetrap for car audio.
