After-market radio on ebay
« on: January 03, 2015, 01:35:13 PM »
Does anyone know anything about this?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-motorola-51-52-53-henry-j-radio-with-motorola-golden-voice-box-/161545500751?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item259cdcb84f&vxp=mtr

It is not a factory issue radio but Motorola did make some units for installation in KF, as well as other products. I know the '53 Henry J Corsair that John Parker owned, and is now in the possession of Ken  and Vicki Payton in Tucson, has an after-market radio which looks like it was made for it but I never took the time to get a good picture. I've seen Motorola units in '47/'48 Kaiser and '51-'55 Kaisers - they look (and probably work) good in the cars. 

I don't know if this one will fetch that price but it would be interesting to see how looks/sounds in Henry J.
