Purchased at a garage sale yesterday for $15...Has a Chevy bow-tie logo, "All Transistor Radio, Delco" on the glass, with a serial number, 7280203A...For $15 I took a chance, but is this something I could get into my 1954 3100, or is it a car radio?? I have not done any research on radios yet, except I know that they are hard to find and expensive...I'll figure out how to post a picture if you experts need more info in helping to identify!

a transistor radio would be 1960 or later [car or truck] .... anything can be made to fit, but it's definitely not for a 54 wink

Search E-bay to see if you can find one that looks like it. It should be after 1960 like red58 said.

Wow, the Google link was right on, the guy from Germany had the same radio! Thanks everyone for all the info, I guess I'll see if anyone with a 1963 Chevy is interested?! I'll learn more before I get serious about replacing the radio, but for $15 it was worth a chance.....
