72 Coronet, radio/speaker help wanted!

[halfafish]

My wagon has a good working AM radio in it. I'd like to upgrade that to an AM/FM version. I've found a couple of units on Ebay that look right, but I don't know if they will fit or not. I'm no B-body guru but I'm guessing AM/FM was an option back in the day. Here is what my radio looks like:

Does anyone have a factory AM/FM unit that could post a photo or two? I'd like to see how it appears in the dash.



The next question is, what size speaker is in the dash? I have a single one that looks to be a 4x10 but it's hard to get at to measure.

Looks like it was not an option on the Coronet wagons -- only Polara and Monaco:

Don't know why it wouldn't be available in a Coronet. Was an option for 71-4 B's. I have one in my Satellite.
Post a link of the radios that your looking at.
I think the speaker is a 4x7

Am-fm ( mono) was not available but Am-fm multiplex(stereo) was. A casette player was also an option.

A simple AM/FM was indeed available on the Coronet sedans (see below), but per the data book it was N/A on the Coronet wagons (see my earlier post). Why, I have no idea.

Indeed. I should have been clearer. Thank you for the correction.

I got this one a few weeks ago as it was on sale. Crazy expensive but it will do everything I want it to. My shoulder is healed so I should be able to squirrel under the dash to measure the speaker.
