Hi,
Anyone have an image of, or a url to to an image of either the interior-showing dash setails, or image of the radio itself for a 1961 Pontiac Tempest?

I have a Stromberg Carlson version whose lettering suggests it should be a 1961 Tempest, but the crucial paste on paper tags with a GM designated part number are gone.

John, I only found that Automatic and Delco produced radios for the '61 Tempest. There were others who did too, but I don't have a complete set of Sams Auto Radio Manuals. Info I found is in Sams AR19. There is 1 listing for Stromberg-Carlson for Pontiac (not Tempest)in AR17. There are 2 for Tempest in AR15. (Delco???) And 1 for Automatic in AR16. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Actually, if you look at the listings for Stromberg Carlson Tenna, and a few others- especially in the period between 1956 through 1965, the numbering systems identify what the application was, and sugest the year.

Sam's is a good reference, but they do not list all of the radios that were produced for the automakers each year, nor are they always timely, and they do not always have a good picture to reference the radio itself, and a few have actually been wrong when they were present.

The Stromberg Carlson I have is manufacturer stamped "TE-61-PB", With a date stamped across part of it for "March 14, 1961"- The "PB" is most likely for "Push-Button", which it is; "61", is strongly suggested by the date stamped next to it, and there were very few domestic automobiles with a name that started with "Te..." in 1961, but when you see "FO", "DO", "DE", "AM","PO", etc it is not hard to recognize that pattern. I was just hoping to nail it down beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Because I have been away from the show car circuit for over a decade, I know that a number of GM car lines had a "scooped dash", and others had a "sloped away" dash, but being away from those cars this long, I have forgotten where some of the design lines broke into other styles for the GM. Mopar and Ford spoken fluently- All others are occaisionally a bit "broken", unless speaking strictly mechanical.
