Congratulations George, Ive never seen one. More common on 63 vette, but rare otherwise.

My friend Rob had been looking one for his 66 GTO, but kept getting outbid on eBay (selling prices in the $750 - $1000 range). I spotted one in excellent condition for him that wasn't really listed correctly, and he got it for a reasonable price (still a few hundred bucks).

'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
Nice find! I don't know about other parts of the country, but there are zero AM stations left in this area. The old AM-only radios aren't much use.
Same here. I was wondering why all my radio picked up was static ... thought it was pooched, but then I clued in.

Thanks Jim, One of my post pandemic trips I am hoping to make it to the Island,.... sooner than later.
We have friend there and I would love to drop by to see your homestead and have a couple of pops.
Actually my new radio came from your neck of the woods....I bet one of the presets is set for CFAX.
neat find - I learned something new today!
I had occasionally wondered when FM radios first showed up;
I have a 1985 Grand Am owners manual, and iirc it has a supplement with "all" the Nationwide(?) FM radio stations!
I know in the 1980's I was still listening to the local top forty AM station (good old AM-106).
I find it hard to believe that anywhere in north America has no AM broadcasts!? - the broadcasts carry further, and in lower population areas or mountainous areas, I have always understood that AM makes more sense.

Here's a list of AM/FM radio stations across Canada.

I have an FM converter still. While it cant replace factory am/fm it would be common to be added in the sixties or seventies. I had this one in a 70 Chevelle back in the late 70s. I also added a rear antenna and it worked better than the windshield antenna.

In the early 70's I bought a Realistic (Radio Shack) FM/cassette player for my 55 Chev.
I remember mounting it my glove box because these type of
aftermarket under dash units were being stolen all the time.
