It’s Vintage motor racing board game exhibition time in Oxted library until Saturday 11-4pm! It’s free too!!

[Jon Male @mrjaydeeem]

Imagine going to this much trouble to be accurate … and then getting the scale that wrong! 🤪

[Jon Male @mrjaydeeem]

@MotoNutJob Just read in @CustomCarMag that Andy Saunders’ sister died recently 😬 Was that who was with him when he bought all that art from me?

[Jon Male @mrjaydeeem]

@classiccarguru1 Indeed, you’d struggle to replace the radio in my Accord Mk7 with anything!

[Jon Male @mrjaydeeem]

#BretttheVette now has a non-functional radio to match his n-f clock 😊

[Jon Male @mrjaydeeem]

@classiccarguru1 Will you ever be able to show your face in public again I wonder ? 😉😂

[Jon Male @mrjaydeeem]

@DaveDuricy Hey Dave! Impressive knowledge 😊

[Dave Duricy @DaveDuricy]

@mrjaydeeem Yes, the 1940 through 1948 Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto and Chrysler radios used a vertical mount. The radio bodies extended way back into the dash.

[Jon Male @mrjaydeeem]

Finishing touches today - exhibition opens tomorrow (4th June) at 11am! All welcome 🤗

[Dogknob1 @MotoNutJob]

Good morning

Google pic memory thing

Brett the Vette off of that @mrjaydeeem

[Jon Male @mrjaydeeem]

Which brings me to the obvious question, is there any other car with a vertically mounted radio?

[Jon Male @mrjaydeeem]

The radio unit is the correct one for the car though - look closely at it and you’ll see that, not only is is designed to be vertically mounted, but it says CORVETTE reading vertically on the left.
