Re: IML: '65 passenger mirror and AM/FM

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

I haven't ever seen a factory installed remote control right side 
(passenger's) mirror on a '65 Imperial. As far as I know that was an 
"add-on" and is always adjusted by hand.

Don't know about the radio. Mine is AM only, but there is a switch that 
you would use to go from one to the other. Maybe the switch is bad. 
Usually if the antenna is going bad (and is in the up position), you'll 
get FM until the cows come home and no AM, but you stated the reverse 
so I don't think that is the trouble.

I am having a factory AM/FM radio rebuilt for my car, but on the fence 
about installing it. It doesn't have the search tune. I guess they did 
in '66, but my car is a '65 and so is the radio I found.

Glad you had a good trip and good luck on your issues.

Subject: IML: '65 passenger mirror and AM/FM

After a 2100 mile journey, (I got lost) I have my 1965 "arrive and 
drive" home tonight resting in the garage.  I've been driving this car 
since about 5:00 or 6:00 yesterday afternoon and it's 11:16 p.m. 
tonight.  I was beginning to think we were glued together, but it was 
fun.  Believe it or not, the brochures and the road test magazines were 
right.  I only feel tired from lack of sleep, not from the driving.  It 
would be a great cross-country car, and since I drove through 7 states 
non-stop ((New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee (that's when I 
knew something was wrong), back to Arkansas, Missouri, and finally 
Illinois)), I wouldn't hesitate to drive it any distance.  The only 
costs were, 1) new tires that I bought from the get-go and 2) new belts 
I had to have put on in West Memphis, Arkansas.  I really only had to 
have one of the alternator belts, but just had them replace them all 
because they were aging.  PLUS, it averaged 16.67 MPG on the highway.  
I always thought it was my dream car, but, after this experience, it IS 
my dream car.

Anyway, two questions.  The brochure says that the passenger side 
outside mirror is remote controlled.  Where's the control?  I looked 
and couldn't find it, so did it trial and error by hand.

Second.  My car has AM/FM.  I can get AM stations till the cows come 
home, but can't get any FM.  Any suggestions?
