<VV>Transistor Radios

[Dennis & Debbie PLEAU]

My $0.02.  We had a neighbor who had a 59 Buick with the slide out transistor radio.  Gota like the fins on that ride.

  I'm not sure if this adds much to the conversation as I don't know a great 
  deal about radios.  I do recall that we (parents) owned a '60 Bonneville 
  which had (must have been transistor) a radio which - the center portion - 
  would slide out of the dash.  You could then have tunes with you at the 
  beach or picnic - whatever.  In the '60s the radios (most) and the Rock and 
  Roll was all on AM.  The classical stuff was on FM and is probably at least 
  one of the reasons FM radios from that era and not readily available.

  And, we also had - prior to the Pontiac - both a '55 and '57 Buick.  One of 
  them had that "wonder bar" (equivalent to "seek" or "scan" on today's 
  radios) - I think it was the '57.
