[70cst]

$65 Shipped Rare Display Box with Detector There is one on eBay for $299.00

This I think is the last of my early Radar Detector that would be period correct for the trucks made in the 60's and 70's.
If you want to add the unique accessory to your truck this is it.
I already have one which is why I am selling this one.
Its in like new condition and I have not removed this from the original display box so ... what you see is what you get.

In the article it says that in the 5 years since the 1956 "Truth About Radar" article: "many microwave detectors have come and gone. Popular electronics has investigated each new speed-trap detector and has rejected some because they violated government regulations; others because of size, weight, or impractical construction; and one or two because they were simply 'wishful thinking'."
