Porsche Automobilia

Pictures are evidently from range of dates so another example of marketing recycling of prior era images ... Longhood items and tombstones

Without detailed checking details of radio think it might be the revised Köln model with mor modern dial introduced from circa 1970 to around end of the longhood in 73 maybe? The previous one to around 69 had the different older style dial graphics

When is it thought the non-recessed all smooth chrome surround was no longer used on 911?

Presumably this photo is from factory. Published around the transition to G facelift containing photo as an example of radio installed in earlier model. As is horn push b&w pre facelift.

I appreciate marketing material is not always representative of the then current spec and such photos got recycled --however suspect there was more variation in what that radio trim was used when on 911 than we imagine today. While this is 74 document it is using pre G series images although I suspect not really old 911 photos. Also the style of road Certain wheels indicative of images date.

No big deal for me as my car dash has blanking plate no unit and have various correct for model 73 Mexico and blaupunkt radio cassette units with completely different trim if I felt the need to fit something ....just seeing this might suggest the all chrome style as well as the recessed chrome style surround still both got used even close to the G series dash change?

Difficult to see in the picture but that is the recessed radio trim piece that attaches from the front, remember the non-recessed one pushes through from the back.

thanks for the tip. I posted it for sale, BTW.

maroon interior & a smooth exterior. the interesting part (to me) is the fact that the chain anchors @ the bottom.
