I know its the last thing you're worried about but believe I have several 58' Buick original radios when you're ready.

I bought a bunch of paint chips from Paul as well. I figured they would make great gifts for my friends who have vintage cars. Paul gave me a great bulk price and super fast shipping.

Original AM Pushbutton radio for 1968 Ford Custom, Galaxie, LTD., Fomoco Motorola model 8TMF. It was bench tested, powers up and plays clearly, and dial lamp works. No knobs but otherwise visually a clean radio, chassis is rust free and wiring plugs intact. $25 plus shipping USPS Priority Mail.

Metal speaker grille, used but straight. 4 mounting posts look straight and not stripped. Outside frame measurements are 8 5/16" W x 6 1/8". Interior mounting bolts about 6 5/8" x 5 3/8" on center. Not sure what year/auto it belongs, if anyone knows PM me or reply. Based on metal and shape, I'm guessing its from 1950's, maybe early 1960's. Someone told me it might be for a Ford. Asking $20 plus shipping. Thanks

OEM Motorola model 84MS AM Pushbutton radio for Ford Thunderbird. Really nice condition but likely needs interior refurbishment at 60 years old. Knobs turn and pushbuttons work. Right knob is missing silver insert, and comes with small rear bracket. Untested and sold "as is". $75 plus shipping. Thanks, Steve steventochi@outlook.com

Also included is a NOS 12DU7 "untested" vacuum tube as seen in pics. May also fit 1960 Monterey, Montclair and Park Lane models, buyer to verify fitment. Comes with faceplate and knobs, all in very good condition with minor pitting if at all. Chassis looks clean and rust free and great candidate for full restoration. Selling radio and tube "as is". $50 plus shipping. I have hundreds of AM radios (no am/fm left) from late 50's to early 70's, please contact me if you are looking for a certain model. Thanks

Radio in excellent condition, plays and pushbuttons work. Knobs and bezel really clean. Did not get dial lamp to come on, could be a burned out bulb. Chassis in good shape, no rust and wiring is there. $70 plus shipping. Send pm if interested and I can send video of it playing. Thanks

Thanks Carl, the "list" is something I've been meaning to get to. I'm having fun, I just pick a radio off the shelf based on a model than interest me, and list it on ebay and see what happens. I've sold about 85 thus far out of 500. What I've found is anything truck, muscle car and Japanese are really hot right now. I really do enjoy getting these back out on the street, and I'm making about minimum wage for the hours I put in. I did join some model specific forums, without much success, actually some commenters and naysayers about the radios or price I ask. I've been using Ebay which is sort of a necessary evil and of course they fee you to no end. Not to placate to the masses here, but AACA buyers have been the best and most appreciative. Here's a link to one of the radios I have out there, a 1954 Oldsmobile Delco. You can the click on sellers "other items" and please "follow me". (I only have one follower at the moment) https://www.ebay.com/itm/392397294904 Oh and I also have "a thousand" or so radio knobs, and inner tone knobs, new and used from the same era cars. Let me know what knobs you're looking for and pics would be helpful. Steve

For sale, a NIB 1958 Motorola AM pushbutton radio with 24K gold plated knobs, pushbuttons and faceplate. Its a kit and comes with instructions, golden voice speaker, mounting hardware and even a warranty card. It is rare enough that I have never seen an actual image of one other than an advertisement. Probably not big sellers and too much of a luxury back in the day. I just put it on Ebay at $299 but let me know if anyone is interested. Its a beautiful radio and bench tested and plays great.

Thanks Jay, Unlikely but I will look, 1974-75 is about the newest radios I have, and no am/fm which probably came with that car.

John, I don't have white pushbuttons but several buick sonomatic radios with black pushbuttons with white letters. and plain chrome buttons without letter.

Sorry, I don't have that model, and very few AM/FM radios.

I have 1966 model 235, 1967 Model 230 1966 Model 228 1965 Model 224 Take a look at this website and see if any will work for you. https://sites.google.com/site/identifyingcarradios/home/radios-2/plymouth-1 Shoot me an email and I can send you pics of the ones you want to take a look at. steventochi@outlook.com

I have "thousands" of radio knobs including volume controls, tone controls, inners, spacers, etc. Most are from American car radios from the mid 1950's to early 1970's. The vast majority seem to be new or like new condition. Unfortunately, they are not sorted in any way after a poor attempt was made to organize them. If you are looking for replacements or spares for your OM radio, please email me specifics (make, model, metal, plastic, size, etc) and detailed photos. My Boy Scout son will then go search for a match, and I'll send you a photo of what he finds. I promised him I'll give him half the money towards his Eagle Scout project this summer. Shipping will be included in negotiated price. Thanks, Steve steventochi@outlook.com

Hi All, I have 5 of these with manufacturer emblems from years past. Still in packaging and they feel pretty solid. From L to R, what the back of each says for make and year(s): 1) Oldsmobile 1935 - up 2) Plymouth (just a keyring, no blank) 3) Dodge 1956 & up 4) Chrysler Four Leaf Clover 1945 - ? 5) Pontiac 1935 - up Not sure on value or collectability, how about $25 a piece shipped CONUS. I had an extra Oldsmobile keychain, and put it on ebay and see where auction ends up in 7 days. Send me a PM if interested and which one. Steve

I found this NIB Motorola aftermarket radio kit, model is GV-800 and believe its from1959. It comes with bezels, hardware, owners manual, speaker and even a warranty card. I can't find any information on the internet about it, no pics. I found one old advertisement that says "gold plated" push buttons. Its just beautiful and well preserved, just needs a polish, I'm not sure if its really gold plated. Any old timers out there seen it before and can tell me about it?

There is a refurbished one for sale right now on ebay. Not cheap though.

Hi all, I'm glad to get a few radios back to the owners who need them. You may have this but I found this great link to identify your radio model for your American car. https://sites.google.com/site/identifyingcarradios/home Steve

Gary, I have to look, but most are AM radios. If you have a model # or picture, that might help.

Thanks but I don't need anymore, I need my garage back!

Hi Everyone, I just found and joined this great site. I have recently came into ownership of approximately 500 radios from 1950's to mid 1970's for predominantly American cars. They are from a car audio shop of 40 plus years in Hawthorne, CA whereby the owner carefully boxed and labeled the radios when he removed to install "hi fi" systems. Many appear to be in great shape with faceplates and knobs, some are not. Some are vacuum tube radios from the late 50's. I have not inventoried it all, but some of the boxes are labeled with the makes/models like Mopar, Cadillac, Mercury, Studebaker, Buick, Pontiac. My C1 vette friend said to "look for wonderbars". I cannot guarantee working condition but if you're looking for a period correct radio to refurbish or parts , there's a chance I may have it. I'm trying to avoid the Ebay route so shoot me a message or email at steventochi@outlook.com. Thanks, enjoy the pictures. Steve
