Motorola 60 Police Car ? Radio Tube Sixty 1937 Vintage Am 60 1930s + Speaker 8 on 2040-parts.com
Canton, Ohio, US
A very rare and early car radio made by the inventors, Motorola. This model, 60 dates to the Mid 1930's. I am told that the speaker is even more rare than the actual radio and could be worth a substantial amout. I am just looking to get rid of it all in one lot. I am sure that this set is worth more than the $500.00 asking price but I am willing to let it go to someone that will put it to good use or display it. Feel free to make a REASONABLE OFFER and I may accept it... For your consideration here, Is what I have come to find out may be a very rare vintage Motorola Car Radio dating to the Mid to late 1930s. I am told that this may be the rarest of all of the Motorola Radios. I have been told that this may have been in the Police Cars back then..... The Motorola began in Chicago, Illinois as Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in 1928 and were first makers of Radios made specifically for cars. They began producing Car Radios in 1930, under the brand name "Motorola" ("Motor" referring to the car and "ola" refer to the sound, as in "Victr-OLA") Eventually, the company changed it's name to match the brand and still exists as the company we know today. This model 60 radio dates to the MID TO LATE 1930s, making it an early Car Radio from a time before auto makers rarely offered that option. The separate equipment and somewhat complicated aftermarket installation made these very expensive at the time and thus harder to find today. This radio is untested. The radio appears to be an all original, excellent candidate for restoration. The case of the Radio does have some minor scuffs and paint loss from storage and use. There are also a couple of minor dings, but it is in overall good condition. some of the original screws which fasten the case to the chassis are also missing. On the left side of the case are various connections that have their function embossed on the metal case. The Radio has not been tested and is offered in as-is condition. This would a great addition to a 1930s Auto Restoration, or Vintage Radio collection.

Audi Q5 (2008) unveiled
Sat, 19 Apr 2008By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 19 April 2008 12:00 A decade after rival BMW, Audi is finally joining the mid-sized SUV party. The new Q5, unveiled at this weekend's Beijing motor show, is Ingolstadt's answer to its hometown rival the X3, and is based on the oily bits from the A4. Which speaks volumes about its intent.Unsurprisingly, that means it's aimed squarely at on-road performance, where it will shuttle five occupants around in - you'd imagine - saloon car comfort.

Thu, 08 Jul 2010Rubens Barrichello does Top Gear this weekend Top Gear does like to get a Formula One driver or two to drive their track in a reasonably priced car. They’ve not managed to grab the whole grid yet – and they’ve also included a few golden oldies like Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill – but a lot of the big names seem to be persuaded it’s a bit of fun worth having. The top contenders this year have all been to the TG track, bar one.
