1966 Oldsmobile 442 (WCFL Radio New Car)

That's cool. I wonder if the stations bought the cars or if they were owned by the reporter? Here's another WCFL car, I think from the 50's, looks like it belongs to the radio station itself.

There we go she's done, and what a fun little project this was. I had a great time with this build, from looking up history of old radio stations, links to old broadcasts, and hearing your experiences and memories of radio from back in the day, and of course the build itself. There are other radio vehicles I'd like to do, like the WLS Magic Bus, so watch this space as they say! I'll post more pictures in the completed section.

Man that's a good looking build. The Magic Bus, is that the one that used to have a song about it ? or was that just some old party bus ?

The radio station probably took the idea from a Who song called Magic Bus (1966?).

Thanks, Dave. I don't know a whole lot about the WLS van. There's only one picture I've found of it and a three second clip in a video.
