Driving it would be nice! There is currently 20" of snow blocking the garage.
I do need to do something for a sound system. The AM is only 3 watts and wont really power 4 speakers above a whisper. I may get it converted to modern am/fm with an aux cable for the iphone but they are 16 weeks behind on jobs. So does anyone have any ideas for bluetooth contraptions that can feed existing speakers? I think they have these setups for boats. My son just bought a stand-alone bluetooth speaker that he plunks down on the console of his car and it works great. But that is kind of bulky and rather modern looking.

There's those Antique Automobile radio. I've been eyeballing them, but they're so damned expensive... and the reviews are mixed.
There really doesn't seem to be one specific place everybody swears by for the conversion route. RetroSounds seem to work good but they just look cheap to me.

I was looking at Retrosound for my 68 El Camino. I currently have no radio on there.
I don't like that the usb ports are on the back side of the radio. I don't want to have to lay on the floor to plug in a device. I realize I could permanently install extensions, but then I have look at them hanging down, unless I run them to the glove box. But then they aren't within easy reach if I am by myself. I would be interested to see what else is out there. Would like the usb port(s) accessible from the front.

Steve, I know you said you don't like the modern speakers, but I have found these little guys to sound great, and I pop one from car to car.

I didn't know you needed one of those wheels. I would have given you this one. It may not be what you were looking for. I've been trying to get someone to take it, but no luck.

Wish I knew you had it a couple weeks ago. I think I spent $40 in Evaporust alone soaking the other one! Are you still looking to get rid of it? Never hurts to have a spare spare. :-)

Yes, I would love to get it to someone who could use it.
