FWIW, they had those radios in the late 70's Corvette's also. My 78 had one, and they were junk.

I believe it was a dealer installed option...my chalet had one in it when i bought her. They used a factory fender mount antenee on the drivers side fender....crap i agree...but for the 70's it worked really good. I actually used mine on trips until i opted for a 87 K5 stock radio...new cb is in the works....i like the newer one with the lighted face...so you can see what you are doing at night...had one in my 79 for a few years now and i'm quite pleased. And i have found coupled with a 150watt linear...truck drivers think you are another fellow trucker until you tell them you are right behind them....lol.
