Doing the internal conversion on my '54 radio was great for me. Everything functions externally like the original radio. But with the addition of FM and Bluetooth. 90% of the time, I never need to put up the antenna to get my local FM stations.

It amuses me every time I get in the Packard for a drive, and I hear "Bluetooth Connected" from the speaker when I start the car.

Also great when I get a phone call while I am driving, as I can keep my hands on the wheel. Also, I can stream music from my phone via the Bluetooth to the radio.

Lots of options over the din of AM talk radio.

I've decided that the 37 won't have a radio. No point in a convertible with the wind noise. This is why there is a radio delete plate in the dash that was wood grained with the rest of it.
