Jon............ See my post under your " 1939 ford glove box " post. I used a Sony 12 volt radio that I bought at Best Buy, it seems like I paid about $70.00 for it. The two speakers I used were Walmart, maybe $40.00. One of my friends said, " You better mount the speakers where you can build a nice fancy enclosure for them to get the best possible sound " I DID NOT TAKE HIS ADVICE. and instead, with no enclosure, the new speakers, instead of New Car Sound, remind me of how radios sounded in cars 70 years ago which was just what I was looking for ! The radio comes with a remote but the glove box door needs to be open to work with the remote, as it is a " line of sight radio / remote. " Again I went 12 volt, with a marine battery in the trunk, hidden in a vintage picnic basket. Every time I open the Picnic basket I hear " That's really unique " If the battery was sitting in the trunk, naked, in front of God and everyone else ! maybe I would get a different response.
