Anyone Remember Century Auto Radio/Speedometer?

[Kirk M.]

Couple of stickers on the back of my gauge cluster say

Century Auto Radio, Inc
Speedometer Service
5037 W. Diversey
NA2-6544 & NA2-7449

Anyone happen to remember this place. I think it was in Chicago.

Have the same sticker on my radio. I was wondering about that the other day, google search of address seemed to indicate chicago. When I purchased my car, 1966 coupe, back in 1979 it had a University of Texas parking sticker on rear window. prior owner search showed car in Texas at least since 1976. Maybe my car was originally from Chicago? Does anyone know if Illinois DMV still releases vehicle info?

My car supposedly came out of Georgia, but the stickers make me think it may have originated in Chicago area, since back in those days we didn't have UPS! My clock had a sticker, Restored by Clock-Doc. I found that guy. He was older and thought he might have some records, but after checking with him, I never heard back. Too bad. Don't think I will ever find out where my car came from.
