58 to 62 Wonderbar

[Rex P. Kelly]

is there any difference in the Wonderbar radios for these years? Will one be correct for all? Thanks

Re: 58 to 62 Wonderbar

Differences in the pushbutton configuration and the location of some of the parts on the outside of the case.

Re: 58 to 62 Wonderbar

As Bill mentions, the 61-62 pushbuttons are curved in the front an dthe earlier models are straight. The pushbuttons can be replaced with repos. The other differences are not visable with the radio installed.

Re: 58 to 62 Wonderbar

58-61 had components mounted to the left side of the wonderbar case, which often interfered with the cowl vent arm when the cowl vent was opened. 62 wonderbars (other than very early cars) had those components relocated to the back of the radio (still toward the left side, but back of case). Hope that helps.
