Use Google to research this topic, there have been several threads on it and I
think the Delco car radios were usually rated highly.

My stock stereo in my '92 Subaru does a fine job on AM.

I've had really good luck with most car radios. Nighttime reception is
usually very good, especially considering the short antenna. On the
weaker stations the reception will vary noticeably as the car turns in
different directions. A ground plane effect by the body, I would imagine.

I've been scrounging the salvage places for a Sony shortwave dash radio,
but no luck. Most places have never even heard of it.

I was able to pull in WCBS 880 in New York City (clear channel, 880 KHZ) all
the way out in Winnemucca, Nevada, on the am radio in my 1971 Toyota
Corolla. On the flip side, I was able to get KNX 1070 out of LA as far east
as Buffalo NY.....
