Re: [Chrysler300] FM radios in 1964 and 65

["Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxx>]

FM was a possibility for the 64. About the only option not included on the
Salon though. Darn setup required a different trim piece on the dash since
the hole size was different. Had a nice fm unit once but without the trim
so just sold the radio. When I have found parts cars which had the fm the
trim piece was already ruined when the radio was already taken out also.
Have to drop the steering to remove the trim piece of course!!!! Noting is
easy on Chryslers.
