    "Bluetooth" Wonderbars

    Anybody know if the "Bluetooth" Wonderbars I see advertised are done from "scratch" of if they use old Wonderbar cases? I ask because if they're doing them from scratch and DUPLICATING the old cases, maybe I can buy a base plate and the "Wonderbar" push bar that are missing from my '57 Wonderbar..............you can still Dream in Quarantine.......

    If you're talking about the Antique Automobile Radio offering out of Palm Harbor, FL - they are done from scratch...the push buttons and wonderbars and the front case in general are made from lighter and cheesier metal than the original radios. I don't know if they'll sell individual case pieces and parts of if you'd want them if they did so.

    Having said that, after their initial quality problems, the radios are now quite reliable and at a glance are a reasonable facsimile...
    I've had one of their '61 and '63 Corvette radios and a third for a '67 Chevelle SS-396. Don't know about a '57, but an original '61 had the small red "sensitivity" switch on the front, the reproductions do not.
