"According to Big Money Lewis, Canadian cars have entirely different radios with the word "Chryco" on the face. "
Well, that's not exactly what I said . What I meant was , every time I have ever seen a "Chryco" face radio, for example on e-bay, it has been located in Canada. I don't mean every Y07 spec car should have a Chryco face . I will say that , I have personally handled over 1,000 68-9 B body am thumbwheel radios, and I have NEVER held a chryco in my hands, however, I have seen at least 30-40 listed for sale over the last couple years , all were located in Canada . The part # you gave, honestly I don't see it showing up in any books so far. Honestly, I know very little about the elusive Chryco . It sounds like this is a topic worthy of more research .

Hey Dave, would you have a picture of said chryco face radio? I've never seen one.
Ask and you shall recieve. When I was taking the car apart for the restoration, I never had seen a Chryco radio, only the Chrysler Solid State face.
Here is the face.....

Here is an update on my radio. According to Big Money Lewis, Canadian cars have entirely different radios with the word "Chryco" on the face.
Here are the numbers:
2649963 Model CD59014 Serial 09372 73773 1528
I assume the 2649963 is the part number, and 1528 is the date code of the 152nd day of '68? Seems pretty early for a March '69 build car.
Dave
Wonder if the "CD" in the Nodel number stands for Canada??

Mike, I was wondering the same thing that the CD meant a Canadian model.
Here is the part tag on top.

My face says "Chrysler Solid State" on it.
That's what mine says on it. I think that's the typical one for the A12's. I wonder what the ones marked "Plymouth...." came in?

Okay all, let's have it. It's not hard, just peek inside your interior compartment.
Let's hear what writing is on the face plate of your radios?
Who knows? The Shadow Knows! But he ain't on this fraking forum!
"This restoration is a test,, It is ONLY a test, Had this been an actual Restoration I would have received instructions on what to do and where to get the MONEY!"

As previously mentioned, the Dodge, Plymouth Chrysler and Chryco, all 4 will have different part numbers. Your best bet is to go with the Chrysler face , probably 75-80 % of your a12 cars had this one originally. But you COULD have had a Dodge face in the Superbee, or a Plymouth face in the Road Runner. Either radio is 100 % correct for your application, just depended on vendor supply at the plant on that particular day . As far as the Chryco (which also has 68-9 Dodge dart style chrome preset buttons) who knows what's going on with that ? It could have been for cars actually built in Canada at R code plant(not A12s of course) an over the counter dealer radio or whatever. All I know is Chryco was Canada's Chrysler division. I certainly would not think an A12 car , built as a Y07 Canadian spec car, would have left Lynch Rd with a Chryco radio. My thoughs is that it was installed sometime latter. Just guessing.

Greg, I just talked to a couple of guys that have owned their A12 cars a long time. One since new and the other guy owned his since the early seventies. Both of their cars and my car have " CHRYSLER SOLID STATE " radios. These are all Canadian cars with 2 of the cars being early production and one built in May of 1969. FYI
