To ask if cars that would have been on the road in 1960 would have had a wireless/radio?

[Hormonecure]

I would love someone to help me with this. Would a character be able to listen to music on a car radio in 1960? In England. Thanks x

One of my grandads did have a car. He'd had a motorbike and sidecar after the war but then had a van. And finally a car but he was the factory foreman.
The other who was a miner never had a car. No need. Everything was local.

That's why my uncle got a car, as in the 60s lots of smaller pits were closing down and being replaced by a smaller number of larger, highly mechanised so called super pits. For the first time they founf themselves living a distance from where they worked.

My grandad was late 60s when the pit shut so he was retired. He'd never learnt to drive and the bus still ran well then.

I remember there being a wireless in my parents' car in the 50's - what sticks in my mind is that there were buttons to press to change the stations. If I was sitting in front I wanted to hear music not chat so if there was chat after a record being played I would push another button to get music!
