Re: Hamburg Bosch Car Radio
In the good old days of new aircooled Beetles, we lived in a world of choices.
None of the cars sold in the 1970's were factory fitted with radios.
You bought the car and then had the choice to have a radio fitted. The choice of the make of radio was up to you.
Sanyo was a popular brand with the Sanyo Rally the staple and the Sanyo Transworld the upmarket choice if you were looking for something with preset tuning.
The German brands were normally used in the luxury German cars and if you were an car audio god, you used Pioneer or Alpine.
