Yep. My dad and I had just pulled into my grandfather's driveway when we heard President Roosevelt on the car radio. That seems so long ago.

That's because it WAS long ago. :)

You were lucky to have a radio in your car. In 1941 most cars on the road did not have radios.

Tom I wondered about that but since I was minus 2 at the time I don't remember :-)

Opposite of a superhomodyne.

I was trying to remember the name of it. Seems like Stewart-Warner. There was a large box that attached to the firewall on the passenger side, and a control head that mounted to the side of the steering column. There were mechanical cables between the head and box, much like speedometer cables. It ran on an internal vibrator power supply.

It's the technical name for the basic AM radio circuit design. In the context, it was probably advertising hype.

I was -26

Speaking of Big Vibrators.... I drove a Wrangler this afternoon that had some pretty aggressive tires on it. One of the tires had some tread worn off the outside, looked like it tried to grip a rock, for quite a while before it actually got traction.

When I got out, I had to look twice to be sure it didn't have a Harley insignia on the back end of it.

That's kind of what I suspected. Sounded a bit George Jetson-ish But hey, what do I know? LOL
