Light for 67 radio?
Did the 67 radio come with a backlight? My radio works, but there is no light. Ford managed to put one in the cigarette lighter socket, so I wondered if the radio had one, too.

Re: Light for 67 radio?
For what it's worth, I think my 71 AM radio had a light. If I recall correctly, it was stuck in at an angle from the top. Like this one:

As with lots of 67 things, I can imagine that 68-72 radios had a light while the 67 did not.
Any 67 owners ever seen a glow from their fine AM, no pre-set radios?

The 67 radio does have a light. But to change the bulb, you have to remove the radio and open it. The light is inside. Easy enough to change, just a pain to pull the radio to do it.
