Re: [FWDLK] What plays on old AM radios



What and where is the CD?  I'd like to have one or more. 
 
I "chopped up"* the dash on my '56 Plymouth to put in a new radio/CD and play a lot of oldies, which 'She-From-Whom-The-Receipts-Must-Be-Hidden' puts up with.
 
* That car has a radio mounting plate that easily comes off the dash, so it isn't really chopped up.  Don't gasp.

I recently purchased a CD with old AM radio R&R disc jockey shows on it.  Let me tell you, it doesn?t seem at all as cool as it did then.  R&R didn?t really start rockin? until 1956, although Bill Haley and his Comets recorded Rock Around the Clock in 1954, it was still the top R&R song in 1955.  It took Elvis to really set the R&R radio shows on fire.

 

I have also seen drive-in movie speakers converted to radio speakers, set on poles outside the car.  This is a cool idea that avoids chopping up the old radio.

I often had this thought that it would be cool if I were at a car show with the ?55 and turned on the radio and it started playing songs and DJ and show names like they would have been in the 50s; sort of Twilight Zone stuff.  I bet some electronics whiz could make it work the same way that XM radio transmits to FM radios in the car.
