Good morning Stovebolters: While I love listening to my 261 as shift through the gears, it sure would be nice to pull up my playlist on my iPhone and play over a speaker in my '53 and have an option for AM/FM. I have seen the original radios available, and not sure that is what I want.
I'm curious what music playing setups our members have. I do not want to modify my dash in any way.

I've showed my setup before. It's not for music unless you considered the great show opening bumper music for R. L. but maybe it would be a starting point for you. The original face is just plugging up the holes.
34 Years. Now with a '61 261, 848 head, Rochester Monojet carb, SM420 4-speed, 4.10 rear, dual reservoir MC, Bendix up front, 235/85R16 tires, 12-volt w/alternator, electric wipers and a modern radio in the glove box.
I'm looking into this also, Patrick. I haven't decided yet but I know I need a USB port and the ability to play MP3 files. Anything else is a no-go for me. Since the 70s, I've been using an AM/FM radio connected by cables to the image I've attached. These were rare as hen's teeth back then and now I doubt you could find one at all. There are some "look original" options but they lack the MP3 file ability.
