Today, Cruising to work and back home in the mini van with WSFM blasting out.
I felt like I had stepped back in time except for the type of cars around me :wink:

I took mine one of mine out for a blast today too. It also felt like stepping back in time while I was waiting on the side of the freeway for the RAC because I had run out of fuel despite the guage saying I was half full!

They were an accessory, dealer fitted (an Astor Diamond Dot was one option). All were AM band back then (no FM).
My 1970` Matic still had an AWA Cruiser 6 radio in it when I bought it 20+ years ago. These were made here in 1970 (I was working for AWA back then).
