Re: IML: 8-track in imperials & originality

[darrell kershaw <darrells59imperial@xxxxxxxxx>]

 

 

my factory am radio work's or I should say it comes on but no stations .I replaced the original speaker with one I matched up at radioshack, I may need to replace the antenna.

 

the reason I would like to have an 8track in the car is so that I can play music from 1959, I had thought about installing a CD changer in the trunk, but the only ones I have found must play through a factory FM radio or be hard wired into the factory speakers. I dont mind hacking at the wiring because some wiring will need repairs anyway. but im trying to keep the car as much original as possible.

 

any ideas or suggestions?

I plan to paint pearl green spikes down the side of my black 60 2dr crown with mint green leather inside and custom wheels, on the flite sweep deck lid I will replace the lense in the center with the big eagle from a 64's fuel door. I would'nt take a saws all to my imperial but will add my own taste to the car and dont care who likes it as long as I do, after all were'nt imperials considered to be factory customs to begin with. Also while on the subject of sound, there are
