1949-50 Ford Passenger Car & 1951-52 Ford Truck and Wagon AM/FM/Bluetooth® Radio
Small size, big features! Our 1949-50 Ford Car and 1951-52 Ford Truck/Wagon radios are designed to look, fit, and feel just like the originals. Behind the dash, the radio case is only 4.125” deep, allowing room for electric wipers and air conditioning. The AM scale on the background is copied from the original. Hidden below is a small FM dial scale. To switch between AM and FM, press the first pushbutton labeled ‘FM’.
This radio does not have a digital display.
When the radio is powered on, the dial pointer, knobs, and push buttons all move and work like the original. Every radio comes equipped with Bluetooth® for wireless audio streaming and hands-free phone control. Other features include a 3.5mm auxiliary port to plug in any compatible device, such as an MP3 player or a CD player, as well as another input jack specifically designed to work with our foot control switch. Each radio comes with a 12 ½” 12-wire harness with male and female connections for easy connection/disconnection. This harness includes power, ground, a 12-volt output wire (for options like a power antenna or amplifier remote connection), four-speaker connections, and dial lights. The radio also has four channel RCA outputs for an external amplifier and a subwoofer RCA output. Please see the links below for more information.
