Can anyone tell me if the factory ever installed any AM/FM "STEREO" radios in the 1971 B-bodies?? Or, were they all mono FM?

All the AM/FM radios available in the '71 b-bodies were STEREO. I believe it was one speaker front & one speaker rear.

So you're telling me that I have to turn my head to the side when driving and listening to Led Zep's Whole Lotta Love on my 71 Charger SE's AM/FM Stereo radio? (is it just me?)

And most , if not all ,71 B body AM FMs were Phillips radios, most had cassette leads. The '72-74 B body AM FM stereo made by Motorolla is a MUCH better radio.
