["Greg and Russell" <65luxuryliner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I looked for the build sheet when I removed the seats just prior to the car 
leaving for its restoration.  Turned up zilch!  Man, was I disappointed. 
Who knows, maybe the original owner had the '66 am/fm unit installed later 
after he saw one in a '66 model.  I've owned the car since '96 and had no 
idea until this thread began that the radio in the car wasn't available in 
the '65 models.  I learn so much from this group!

As much as I've tried to keep the car totally '65, I am not going to change 
the radio.  I like the search tune button (both on the floor and on the 
radio) as none of my other collector cars have it on the floor.  One of my 
GM cars has it on the radio though.

I appreciate the posts regarding the '65/'66 radios.  I've certainly been 
'enlightened'!
