Expert Posts: 1357 Location: Iowa USA | 1956 and 1957 are the only years it was a factory authorized accessory. If a dealer had one on the shelf and the customer wanted it they would probably install it on their 58 or 59 for them but not factory supported for warranty claims. Full list of 42 records available (numbers 1-6 came with each player) 7-42 had to be ordered http://www.roadkillontheweb.com/records.html (hifiad2.jpg) (magcvr1.jpg) (HC6.JPG) Attachments ---------------- hifiad2.jpg (312KB - 227 downloads) magcvr1.jpg (263KB - 200 downloads) HC6.JPG (296KB - 217 downloads) | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9654 Location: So. Cal | Yeah, even a complete dual 4bbl option with air cleaners can run you in the $2.5k-$3k range. Let's not even think about fuel injection... What would a complete auto-pilot option cost including the motor, linkage, cables, steering column housing & switch? Edited by Powerflite 2015-12-24 3:01 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 1357 Location: Iowa USA | Just for the sake of the numbers. When I sold my Adventurer I sold a NOS record player with all 42 records that were available. and some factory photos and literature. The package sold for $8K But fuel injection for the 58s will probably beat that number if you can find a complete setup. | ||

Expert Posts: 4036 Location: Connecticut | The Highway HiFi needed to be paired with a searchtune radio that had the special 5-prong outlet on the back, since it used the integrated amplifier in the radio. Also, it was controled by the radio. So adapting this to a 58 model year car could probably be done by retrofitting a 57 radio in the dash. For '59, not sure how it would be done. Lee - maybe you could chime in here ? Do I have this correct ? Ron | ||

Location: The Mile High City | The complete set of LaFemme accessories is not to be forgotten on this list!
I don't recall ever seeing a complete set for sale, but there was a purse a long time ago that made some big bux. Edited by Lancer Mike 2020-01-14 11:15 PM | ||
