The design of this 1951/52 Crosely model D-10CE AM radio is cleary inspired by automobiles of the 1950's. Fins racing across the side and the speedometer like tuning dial all contribute to the effect. Taken today. Thanks for looking.

BRAVO Nick...this is retro on many levels. Not only is it an oldie but goodie radio, but the styling is very unique with the car look and rounded edges. And your processing seems retro as well, soft lighting, soft color.
great shot for this theme

The first thing I thought of was a retro radio, but I don't own one. Know of a guy on ebay that has thousands! Perfect fit to the theme...well done, Nick.
thanks Endre,
Yes, it still plays. To bad the only thing any good on AM any more is NPR. I can't stand the talk show format. I remeber listening to the top ten countdown, mystery theater and other good am programming. I guess FM radio and cable TV did it in.
