yeah in Aussie we had AWA n Phillips Radios....
of course they were all AM bacjk as we didnt get FM till about 79 or 1980.
there was the delux type which had pre selected push buttons to change stations or the poverty model that had a wind type know to adjust.... and wait for it just ONE SPEAKER .... in the dash besides the speedo ....
then there were those that had a Transistor strapped to the side panic handle
I must scan some brochures n add pics to the post
sweet thanks mate 🙂

there was also Kriesler & HMV brand Radios and the best Radio of all was the Australian FERRIS brand...
they were the best....
They were the first Car Radios with transistors used instead of Valves.
The Rolls Royce of Radios.... FERRIS....
