'66 headlights and radio



You're right Dick, I stand corrected...my old '66  AM/FM wasn't STEREO....but 
it did have the search-tune and the floor mounted button that would change the 
station to the next on on the dial...at least I think thats the way it worked 
instead of just going over to the next pre-set channel...well, at least thats 
the way I remember it used to work. (That was back in the late 1970's)
