WTT: 57 Olds Wonderbar Radio for 70 AM/FM Truck Radio - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey Gang,

The hypocrite is back

I was talkin' to the ol' man last night about the prices of the am/fm radios for our trucks and he said that's nothing, the wonderbar radios from the 50's have going prices of $400-$500 dollars. I was like

He said "As a matter of fact I have 4 sitting in the back garage." He used to have a '57 Olds and has 4 of them that he kept in stock incase his original went dead. His car is long gone and he said I could have one if someone wanted to trade so here's my offering. A perfect working, mint 1957 Oldsmobile wonderbar radio for an even up trade on a 1970 Am/FM truck radio. If someone has an 8-track they'd part with I would trade 2 mint radios. I know this is a shot in the dark because no one on this board probably has a '57 Oldsmobile but maybe friends or relatives??? Here's a couple of ebay links to give you guys an idea of what these things are worth. Couldn't find any Oldsmobile ones but here's a '57 Chevy listing
