Sears sold Silvertone radios.

Yes, and a pair of CB walkie-talkies and a 'Benton Harbor Lunchbox' CB. I had to build an external vibrator 110V power supply and the whole thing resided in a wooden box on the hump of mom's '52 Desoto. A 102" whip bolted to the rear bumper. Call sign was KGH-5085.

When Dicks R53 ran. :lol:
