to me it looks like 68/69 plymouth b body radio, are you loo0king for something specific ?
 
1968 all b body Plymouth. 1969's said Chrysler on the face.
 
I recall a friend of mine had that radio in his 67 or 68 Barracuda.
 
In my '69 Barracuda. I believe there is a face mounting bracket difference for fit though........

A-body radios have different mounting on the front of the radio. Where the bolts thread in there are no locator pins. It won't swap over, dofferent dimensions and shape. But yes the dial and layout looks simular.

Buttons have the hollowed out part on top b body, on bottom A body.

I could not find much information on the company. Are they still in business?
 
Automatic Radio made knock off for the big three factory radios. They evolved into AudioVox which is now called Vox.

Most Mopar radios of this era were Bendix or Motorola sourced for the factory install.
 
Plan is for a 1969 Coronet
I used to restore these thumbwheel radios. I do not have any good lenses but I do have face decals I had made.
You are welcome to one, if you would like. Just PM me your info

Thanks for the offer. The face plate appears to be the only damage. The face decal appears OK. Where did you source the lenses when you were doing he repairs?

From my garage. At one time I had 30+ parts radios. Good lenses were tough to find.
The 2018 fire in Paradise CA took care of all that.

Greg Ward was contemplating getting new lenses made, but he has unfortunately passed away.
