Here are some reference pics for a column mounted AM radio (Chevrolet/Pontiac). This thing is way cool and if it wasn't $1500 for it I would own it.

Wow, that is something else. What year(s) would this be from?

Thanks for sharing pics of your cool stuff Brad, much of it I suspect I'll only ever see pictures of!

It is interesting to see that it is a "universal" radio. That means that Delco was in the business of making radios to put in any vehicle. I am going to guess that mode of marketing didn't last too long. The radio case looks a little small to be complete for the period. I am wondering if it has a separate power supply.

Could someone explain how that would fit on the column? I see how the arm would fit, but that big brown box...not so much.

Not to surprised since Delco was into the home radio market also
Fred. Had a couple of them over the years. This one probably
used the same circuits as the standard GM accessory radios.

Says for the years 1941-42 and 1946-47 Pontiac and Chevrolet.

The brown box would mount under the dash.

Pretty amazing this NOS stuff is still around.
