Attached is a picture showing the temporary installation of the radio in my Westchester. Unfortunately it is a bit blurred.
The picture will not load up. .................................. Will try again with a better picture tomorrow.
I managed to get my Cord out and go for a short drive today. Attached is the picture I promised showing the radio in my Westchester.
I should have cleaned the carpet first, it's amazing how easily bit of grass can collect.

This is a Philco from 1937. If any 80-year-old underdash radio is used I am impressed.

I remember the cooling louvers were good for letting rainwater out as it was installed under the wind vent, maybe not be a concern on the handbuilt with the filler neck.
Also, notice on the old drawing that the power wire to the control head has a jumper clip. I have seen this on other period drawings. I think they were afraid of shorts and overheating and a quick way to disconnect in an emergency.
These radios were newfangled things and misunderstood, even today they are complicated. when they worked they worked well but not as reliable as modern radios. My dad born in 1911 always bought cars with a radio delete plate.
