It was Chrysler, when they ran out of something they just put in the next thing they had laying around. 68 Roadrunner 383 4-speed 66 Charger tubbed,caged,4 link(my first car) 68 Barracuda 318 4-speed a/c 66 Satellite 426 Hemi 70 W100 short bed 340 T/A

It was available over-the-counter or dealer installed through the Dealer Accessory Catalog. The radio pictured is a '69 unit. The '68 Dealer unit has a pentastar on the face.

I have owned so many 68/9 B bodies I can't even begin to count them, not a one of them am or am/fm had chrome buttons. Last edited by rrunner; 03/29/10 09:57 PM.
