Since only one person cared about FM in their cars, what about your first exposure to the FM radio band in the first place? I recall when my parents got our family's first stereo in the early 60s. It was a huge piece of furniture with a turntable/changer and an AM/FM stereo radio. Since it was in the living room, and the parents controlled things, it was usually tuned to one of the many "beautiful music" stations, which is why I remember people like Lyall Lorenz on WKJF. But on rare occasions, I'd have access to the family stereo and got to listen to KQV-FM when Ed Sherlock was on and they played a hard-to-describe mix of obscure but very well done pop music. Even more rare were chances to listen to Brother Love (Ken Reeth) on WAMO-FM. After hearing that great music, I could never again be content with TOP-40.
