<VV> Radio options in 63's

[Rick Loving]

Your question has 2 possible answers, 

There were no factory installed AM/FM radios in 63 Corvairs. Only manual
tune or pushbutton tune AM radios.  However you could have requested to
have an AM/FM radio installed by your dealer once it was delivered to
the dealership.  It would not have been stock and was not an option, but
many a dealer would have installed them by specific request.

Many non-stock items appear on brand new cars....as dealer installed
items.

I am  interested in finding out if someone can give me a fairly clear
answer 
as  to whether the AM/FM radio was an option in 1963.  I bought my first
new  
car 
in August 1963 in Eunice, Louisiana.  It was a White Monza Coupe  with a
red 
interior.  It had the 102 hp engine and 4 speed  transmission.  I have
seen a 
number of posts here saying that the  AM/FM radio wasn't an option in
the 
Corvair 
until in the later  models.



Randy, Chevrolet did not offer an optional am/fm radio until the  1965
model 
year. In 1963, all that was offered from Chevrolet was  either a manual
or 
pushbutton solid state radio.
