What would be the correct stock radio for an early 55'? Anyone know? Thanks.

There is no such thing. They were bought aftermarket. My 55 had a motorola Big M radio in 56 for my car. Do a search in the classified there are a few of them for sale.

Actually i already have a Big M radio but was wondering if the Sapphire I came with them new? Guess not?

Bendix Sapphire I radios were introduced with the newer 1958 style dash board
