1955 Philco C-5690 radio- World's First All-Transistor car radio
#3

Hello again everyone,



I just found some "additional" information on the 1955 Philco model C-5690, which was the World's First All-Transistor car radio to be developed and produced ....

Below is a 1956 "Deluxe" Color Chrysler Imperial car sales brochure, which shows the "optional" All-Transistor Mopar model 914HR car radio, which was manufactured by Philco (model C-5690). This "option" was only available for the 1956 Chrysler and Imperial car models. And then Chrysler had decided to discontinue this "optional" car radio, when it "New" line of 1957 cars came out.
