Default Why does AM reception vary so much from car to car?

I have an old Explorer and get better AM reception than in a new Lexus.
What can one do? Also, it seems electrical lines cause lots of
problems. I try and listen to a small station Radio Sandy Springs 1620
AM in Sandy Springs, GA and some place I get great reception in other
places lots of static. Again, what can a person do?


What you can do is buy a car radio with a decent AM section. Sadly, most
car radios have AM added as an afterthought and the performance is poor.

Electrical lines will cause problems, but a better receiver with good IF
filtering will have less trouble than a cheaper radio with sloppy filters.
