Good info.

You bring up another interesting point--
Just how is the radio itself connected to the car body/aerial antenna?
Simple ground?

So many wires going to this radio, not entirely clear what's going on.
What I thought was positive and negative wires turned out to be two
positives!!
And both necessary!
Hate to tell you how long it took to figure *that* out!
There are *two* ground wires, which look like shielded antenna wires. Who
knows.....

I will look for that tuning screw. Is it insulated?

Yet, this *same radio*, when I used to park the car this very same

Been decades since I have taken a car radio and placed it in a cabinet
with its' own speaker(s), power supply, etc. and created a "Miracle
Kludge."

However, if I remember correctly, I found the same as you, poor
reception--until I tuned the antenna adjusting capacitor (was a hole on
the back of the radio turned with a screw driver.) It then turned out to
be the most sensitive am set I ever owned (well, for one without a
long-wire antenna attached.)

The antenna is part of an "antenna system" of which, the car body is a
part with much influence ... ditch the car body and you have to readjust
the antenna.
