Default Radio interchange

Radio died in my 65 Catalina. Are there any other years that are the same?
Thanks.

65 and 66 big car are slightly different but they interchange. Make sure that you are getting power and your speaker is good.

Given the "towel bar" that exists on the '65 dash (you'll see what I mean when you remove the radio if you haven't already), replacing like-with-like is best.

While you are doing that, have your original speaker re-coned or replace it with a new one...the increase in sound output will surprise you!

(and, then call me for the RediRad so you can make your AM-radio enjoyable again!)
