'66 headlights and radio

["Gene Satterfield" <esatterf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to the Option Sheet for 1965

    Order Code 445 AM/FM radio w/ Power antenna and rear seat speaker
    Order Code 447 Golden Touch Tuner - AM Includes Power Antenna and rear
seat speaker
    Order Code 466 Reverberator unit for rear seat speaker (with radio only)

That is as it was then, whether after market reverberators were available
?????
