watching "Strange Angel" series on Amazon.

episode #1 @ 42:44 shows these guys cruising in a late '30s pickup. it has 'barrelnose' style elements but i don't think it's a '37. anyway, they are tuning a radio in the cab. it says Delco on it and appears to be football shaped, with a long stalk coming from the top right which is being used to fine tune the broadcast or volume. i think it's mounted to the steering column, where in 20 years, will be mounted a tachometer!

anyone know more about this? thanks
