CORAL PINK Mid Century 1959 Fleetwood Model 5018 AM Tube Clock Radio Bells And Whistles!
COLOR: Coral pink
YOUTUBE Video here. I live in rural Connecticut and there's only one radio station that comes in loud and clear depending on the day.
DESCRIPTION: This clock radio has all the bells and whistles! It's big and pink and stylistically verbose like a 1958 Oldsmobile like this one.
If radios could have tail fins, this radio would have tall fins a mile high! You have buttons. You want dials? You got dials! How about some gold faschia plating? Let's not forget the faceted stars! The final piece de resistance has got to be the push button indicators with red dots identifying the function you've selected! Dig the Cadillac looking 'Fleetwood' logo font! Tabletop tube AM alarm clock retro radio was manufactured by Fleetwood in 1958-59 time frame is in excellent+ working condition. This antique radio picks up AM stations clearly and loudly up and down the dial without need of external antenna attachment. There a cracks on the bottom both sides of this antique radio.
