The original poster didn't stated if his radio read in meters or kilocycles. If its an older radio, may be in METERS, vs KILOCYCLES (or kilohertz), which will read 188m through 550m on the dial face, and it will be opposite in direction to kilocycles when it comes to tuning in a station. Conversion chart here: https://earlyradiohistory.us/khzmeter.htm I have a couple of vintage European automobile radios here (Smiths 'Radiomobile' and a Blaupunkt) with the dial face in meters as opposed to KC.

Only the LTD's, XL's, and Country Squire models had hideaway headlights that year, with a die-cast grille. Galaxie's, Custom/Custom 500's, and Country Sedans such as the subject car had the stamped aluminum grille with exposed headlights. Craig

I really DON'T like to bring this up, but what about the Duesenberg that rolled over a few years ago where much furor was raised over the car not having seat belts as someone was supposedly killed? Did the car get restored? Craig -
Back in the 80's, I told everyone my mom bought a brand new Vette. Only when they came over to visit, or she went to visit someone I mentioned it to, did they get to see her brand new Chevette. Craig

I definitely read 'Sedan' in the photo of the RH view. No lower-case letter 'q' is visible to me. Craig

Yes it could. Here is one from France: http://theoldmotor.com/?p=62600 Makes me wonder if this interesting coachbuilder, Alan & Laiutard, bodied some American marques, just to keep on topic with this thread. Craig -

The 1912 Brooke 'Swan Car' certainly fits into that category, which I believe is now in a museum in Holland. Craig -

Do any of these six V16 Cadillacs at the very bottom of this page survive? https://www.newcadillacdatabase.org/static/CDB/Dbas_txt/v6optns.htm Craig -
I think all that's left are only three AM radio stations!! So there's probably nothing wrong with your radio. And you better like 'all talk', country, or religious, because that's all you'll find on AM these days! Craig

Some of Frank Lloyd Wright's engineering, including building on seismically active locations, such as in Japan were successful. Craig

Therefore, a valuable photo for reference when it comes to an authentic restoration. Craig -
That could be a local dealer promotion. The most common ones, at least nationally, are, "When Better Cars Are Built, Buick Will Build Them", and "Wouldn't You Really Rather Have a Buick?". Craig

Maybe not so much here, but go across the pond to England, there appears to be several. The British publication, The Automobile publishes photos of long lost cars in each issue every month, which includes many micro-cars. Craig -

The two 1940 convertible sedans modified by Derham for the NY World's Fair: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/showthread.php?33681-1940-President-Touring-Car-Coachwork-by-Derham Both were reportedly cut up and scrapped. Craig -
Appears to be mid to late '70's Holden. It would have the plug-ugly 5mph bumpers if it was an Oldsmobile. and the articulated windshield wiper on the RH side shows its a right hand drive car. Craig

Agreed they should be released for sale on a 'one-at-a-time' basis. That way, more photos of each of the 12 could be posted in the individual listings, and the other 11 wouldn't be held 'ransom' to the particular car of interest to the buyer. Craig -
Eastwood is very reputable in the vintage car community, and it would be exact according to their chart. I believe Eastwood ships worldwide. I do not know the color reference. Craig

Here's 12 possible 'missing' Lincolns: https://www.ebay.com/itm/352538641577?ViewItem=&vxp=mtr&item=352538641577 Craig -
Not one, but TWO Continental Mark II's in the collection. And a Lancia Flaminia berlina (sedan). Who cares about a malaise-era Corvette? They're a dime a dozen anywhere in the world. One is better off restoring the red basket case Porsche 356. Craig
