78 New Yorker

From where I sit it looks like a fantasmagorical deal.
Note that there's no vinyl roof! Clean looking don'tcha think?

Very nice! No vinyl top? Was that a factory option or do you think he took the vinyl off and painted it black?

 

[70NPORT]

Is that one of those "cb" radios in there?

 

[70NPORT]

Duh, nevermind. Perhaps I should read the add first. Never seen one of those up close.

Yep, Vinyl was optional but every sales bank car came with one. If you didn't want one, you had to order it that way.
And yep, also to the CB.
The only problem is the color: Fecal Brown...

I have a Chrysler factory am/fm/cb radio in my 78 Ny'er. I'll post a close up picture later this week when the monsoon lets up.

I suppose you could order vinyl delete and get it painted 2 tone or the same color as the rest of the car. I haven't seen any formals without vinyl.

Wow, that's neat; a factory mopar cb radio. CB ("citizen band"?) radios must have been a really popular thing back then.

No two -tones were offered.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe the CB option was only available in C-bodies in 1978.

A Delco AM/FM/CB was available (dealer installed) in '77.

'78 had the Mopar factory AM/FM/CB

Looks like a lot of car for the money....but I have to agree;the color is not that great.

So you could like chat with all the truckers while your tooling down the interstate in the NY'r.

My '79 Ramcharger had it.

Nope.
I've NEVER seen a CB radio that actually came with the car, in real life or on paper....until now that is, learn something new everyday. I don't know how old you are, figure its none of my business how old anybody is here...but I will tell you the CB craze had looong died out before I came of age or could even drive.

 

[commando1]

You're my age, you dont remember?

There. I fixed your mistake...
