I'm old enough to remember when car/truck radios were an option on the cheaper models, and they came with a blank in the dashboard, or a storage box in the dash in the place of the radio.

(Also, when power windows and air conditioning were mostly found on luxury models, people knew how to shift for themselves, and most cars/trucks were available with three pedals...those were the days!)

I don't disagree that an AM radio may be a good thing to have (although I haven't listened much since Rush died), but if radios weren't required by the gov't in cars and trucks before, AM radios shouldn't be required by the gov't now.

Good points, well taken. When option for AM radio goes the way of the dinosaurs, will an AM compatible vehicle antenna be an option?

As a child of the 80s, it was a big deal in my house when my parents got a Kraco tape player installed in their Ford Fairmont.
