This is a beautiful, restored 1946-48 Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth & De Soto deluxe 7-button radio manufactured by Philco (model C-4608). Mopar model 802. It is original 6-volt positive ground. This radio is also correct for 1951-52 B series trucks. Also included is a copy of the very hard to find original owners manual to guide you with installation, setting the electronic push buttons and operation of the radio. The manual copy is intended for informational purposes only. Servicing of the radio included a thorough cleaning and lubrication, new capacitors, replacement of out of value resistors, tested tubes, great working vibrator, alignment, the excellent original power/speaker wire and plug, working dial lamp, new dial glass, new tone wheel dial art and a new fuse link with new fuse and eye terminal for easy installation. The original speaker plug is in excellent condition and is ready to hook up to your original Mopar 802 speaker. All of the mechanics function, as they should including the electronic station presets, station selections and manual tuning. The radio plays and sounds much better than most car radios of the era with great reception (receives a lot of stations), tone and sensitivity up and down the tuning scale. This truly is a great sounding radio. Not only does the radio play well but it is in beautiful cosmetic condition as well with bright shiny chrome on the bezel, original knobs and push buttons. There are a few imperfections here and there as expected for the age. The tone wheel dial art (voice, mello, music) shown in the bottom window of the dial is new and is an exact reproduction of the original in color and font. You will not find this dial art on any other radios offered and I've never seen one of these radios that hasn't needed it. Be sure to take advantage of the zoom feature for a closer look at this fine example. If you're looking for a beautiful and great playing radio for your classic Mopar then you will be very happy with this fine example that is ready to install. CA residents pay 7.75%. Your well packaged radio will be shipped the day following receipt of payment. Thank you!

Lexus CT 200h: The emissions

Mon, 13 Sep 2010

Teh Lexus CT 200h has emissions of just 96g/km We have to go with the flow on this because, although we have no faith in the assertion that man is responsible for climate change, for as long as Governments penalise and promote cars based on the emissions of CO2 from their tailpipe (I know, it’s barking) we have to accept that car makers will respond to that stick and carrot. Which is why we see a raft of car makers churning out ‘Eco’ cars with a 99g/km emissions figure, as sub-100g/km of CO2 emissions is the Holy Grail for maximising tax effiecencies. Of course, Lexus has gone a step further and seem intent on producing only hybrid cars as soon as possible.

2012 Volkswagen Beetle to launch with Black Turbo edition

Mon, 13 Jun 2011

Volkswagen is borrowing a page from sister company Porsche and will turn to the color black to sex up the soon-to-arrive 2012 VW Beetle--and to draw attention to a preorder program launching this year. The Beetle Black Turbo edition follows in the lineage of Porsche 911s augmented with Black editions, and the VW will sticker for $25,720, including shipping. Power comes from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, which is the same as the regular turbo Beetle--and VW's hot hatch, the GTI.
