Lee Exline Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 The 5 button and the 7 button I know the other is 1964 era Quote
Tony Cipponeri Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 Hi Lee, They look alot like my 1950 radio. Tony C Quote
JerseyHarold Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 The two top radios are '51-'52 Plymouth (Ask the man who owns one...). The bottom radio looks to be earlier than 1964. Any part numbers on it? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 Sho-nuff on the 51/52 radios..I have a factory unit and a aftermarket AR radio for those years..I also have a brand new in the box gray woodgrain radio panel. Quote
wldavis3 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 I'm thinking (of course, I have been wrong before!) that a wood-grained dash insert is for a '51 and a solid-color insert is for a '52. But, I am not sure if the Concord in '51 had a wood-grained dash or not. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Can't answer that one either..those are joint years with only a few minor changes..the woodgrain was supposed to be last found in the 51. I have seen only a few Concorde's, the Suburban is on the Concorde chassis and I have a 51 model and it was solid color dash. Every time I see someone list a Suburban I try to ping for information to see just how each car was equipted...some answer..some don't...of the sources on the internet some contradict the others..so real definite knowns may be hard to establish... I do like the factory radio for the 51/52..I have the 7 button model myself...the AR is a plain Jane wrapper...it is in the Suburban..and more than not will be replaced with the 7 button factory..the 52 Club Coupe gets an complete different set up...

JerseyHarold Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 My '51 Concord business coupe has the woodgrain dash. To my knowledge, the only '51's that had a painted solid-color dash were the station wagons, convertibles, and Belvederes. The rest had the woodgrain. All '52's had gray painted dashes (they called it 'Lustre-Tone', and the color name was Astral Gray Poly) with the same exceptions as the '51. For what it's worth, the 1952 Plymouth was downgraded from the '51 with much plainer (and less expensive to manufacture) features. Quote
