Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

I ended up not buying the radio just yet as the one I posted isn’t quite right for this car. The radio head and speaker are very close but the microphone is later ‘50s.

In the meantime, I did find and buy the proper Federal WLR siren that I’ve been looking for. It’s not quite the condition I wanted which was somewhat rough but intact and instead is very nice but with some slight damage which is visible at the top seam where the two housings meet. The 6V sirens are hard to find in any condition but as I understand it, the WL model (without the rear light) is more common and uses the same front housing which is where the damage is so I'll look for one of those for parts and it doesn't matter if it's 6V or 12V.

The base on it is, of course, not for the Henney but I already have a proper one.
