Seventy years ago this month, the March 1955 issue of Popular Mechanics showed off Chrysler’s “defense minded” radios.  The dials were “especially designed to enable motorists to tune in quickly for emergency Civil Defense instructions.”  As far as I can tell, that meant that the dials had the required CONELRAD markings on 640 and 1240.
