The radio in out 1955 Studebaker was a Motorola. The radio that was in my 1956 Studebaker was Delco. The 1955 Motorola was a better radio. The Motorola in my grandmother's 1946 Studebaker Commander was the best I've seen. Even push pull 7C5's. There's often some good Studebakers on Ebay Motors. Just make sure they have the original radio in them and working.
