Cadillac Radio 1930's ???

[Douglas Gilmore Brown]

I guessing this from the 1930's, but not sure of the year.

 

My friend found this Cadillad radio in an old garage in downeast Maine. The top of the aluminum control unit case is marked "AC     RK PLUG CO.  FLINT         USA".    Either the stamping die was damaged, or low spots on the case prevented the missing letters from showing. 

 

Also, would this same radio have been used on LaSalle, or did they have a Lasalle logo on them?

It looks to be mid 1930's. To get exact year(s), there's supposed to be a label inside with Model #.

Google Model # and ID info should show up. 

LaSalle may have used same unit, but logo would not be Cadillac.

Thanks, drwatson, for your advice. It is a Wells Gardner 5X.

This was for 1937 models of Cadillac and LaSalle. 

No mention is made if LaSalle had a different face plate.

 

This car radio site has a huge number of radios pictured, BTW !
