Seller says:
"This is the first factory radio for the Chevrolet. Model number 364441."

Is this the radio that came out in Dec. of '32?

I wish there really was a radio for the '32.

If you have a '33 and would like to see it go here:

But I'm not even sure this is a '33, Ray is the Radio man for Chevys.

.....and can be retro-fitted back to any year auto that has a 6volt electrical battery system, I guess you could put one on a buggy if you installed a battery, and a windcharger! My Dad said that radios before 1935 were useless, you could not hear rhem going down the road and all they did when you were Parkin' and 'a-sparking they quickly ran the battery down. Of course I disagreed with him because at the time I was installing a new Western Auto Economy model radio in my Model "A" Ford, next Saturday night I had to push the car a few hundred feet to a downhill run to get a rolling start because , You guessed it, the six volt was dead. (I had also covered up the crank hole with a Chrome one piece bumper)

So maybe it is good that there aren't any radios in the '32's. Saves me money and sweat pushing my car down hills (hills? Florida?).

Remember fellows, I was only 14 years old, and my comb was running bright red, at the time! also I think the one piece Chrome bumper came off of a 1933 or a 1935 Chevrolet. from a junk yard. I had to do some blacksmithing to get it to fit the Ford, and I was not about to pull it off after all the trouble of fitting it to the Model A.
