Old radios

[J Boyle]

Since the vintage radio guy who advertises in TW (and a period Avanti options brochure) says an AM/FM was not a factory option in '63, I was wobndering about a period aftermarket radio.

Anyone know anything which Blaupunct was correct for the period? Frankfurt? Mexico?

Since early-60s Mercedes had Blaupuncts, it's not inconceivable that some found their way into Avantis. They were high tech (and priced) radios, so I'm thinking some may have found their way into Avantis and GTs...

Anyone every see a Blaupunct in a Studebaker "back in the day?"

Any words of advice?

Would they fit?

My 1963 has an AM/FM in it that works. I will be ditching it for an MP3 playing

blah blah newer type unit. It works, looks old, never bothered to see what it

was. You interested in it?
