1955 Radio

I just purchased a 1955 T-bird that is mostly restored, but not quite finished. The last owner sent the radio off to be rebuilt, the company went under and the radio is gone. Anyway I need a new one. My car is working on 12 volts now. I have found a 57 town and country radio. Does anyone know if this will fit in the dash hole without modification? Or does anyone know of a 55 radio for sale?

Hill's Thunderbird Center, in Ohio, carries all sorts of parts for '55 to '57 so is a good source for all your needs. You should call them for a catalog at 740-949-2217.They do carry radios in the $250. range.

Sorry, I don't know if that '57 will fit

Finally, you say it's now a 12Volt system, so be careful on any '55 electrical purchase you make because all stock '55 will be 6 volt.
Good luck
