1.5 DIN, Bob. Exact fit replacement for our Formals. With 6,000,000 colors, too.....

This is the radio I originally was looking for but couldn't find anywhere at the time.

Thanks Stan!

That is a rare 1.5 DIN radio. I'm impressed it has remote control and steering wheel controls capability. This guy wants a $1k for this radio.

This radio wouldn't work for me........no MP3 device or USB compatibility. No XM radio capability. The ultimate decision for me to go with a modern radio was the Ipod capability. They are only made with the 1 DIN design/size.

That radio has so many things going on in the display that you need a co-pilot to work the controls while rolling down the road! LOL!!!

I'd fear to become epileptic having to look at this thing all the time.

I bet it's blinding while driving at night unless you dim the display a lot.

He's been staring at that display too long while under the influence.

That was cutting edge technology in it's day. I'm surprised there aren't more of these around. Most cars of the mid 70's had 1.5 DIN crappy radio's & 8 tracks. Cassette players moved in pretty quick and was huge improvement over the 8 track. Then the CD players like this Alpine KO'd the cassette players.
