    Honestly if the stock Ford radios didn't suck I'd probably run one too. Don't really like my Kenwood all that much, but it was cheap.

            Heeeeey, now there's a radio that looks like it belongs in there!

            Does it have audio inputs for say, a CD player or an iPod? Wonder how hard it'd be to scrounge one of those units up....

            Thanks for the pictures, Donald!

              I actually have a premium sound radio, in addition to a stash of other ford radios. Not sure if it works though.

                No audio inputs. I have been using a sony cassette/to computer adapter to play itunes but that just broke so I think I'll get one of those ipod radio transmitters which should do the same trick wirelessly. The BP is fine sound but (I live in the mountains) isn't real good at picking up faint radio signals. I almost bought a BP Mexico which picks up shortwave too. I imagine both are common on ebay.

                  Got a model number for it, by chance?

                    Dear Panthers,
                    Mine is a "Dusseldorf". As I said, the shortwave version is the "Mexico". Both are older radios - mine is removable. I'm in Illinois and my radio manual (and perhaps part#) are back in Virginia. I'll post Nathan privately when I get home Tuesday.

                        Actually my radio seems real nice, sound is loud and clean and reception is good too - maybe I just got lucky?

                          88+ premium sound radios, especially Lincoln ones, are decent. The older ones are crap, lousy tuners, mechanical volume control thats all scratchy, and poor illumination. The purely mechanical ones were better, those early digital radios sucked.
