Since some years I have this Cadillac radio, but I don't know the correct year; it could be 1953, 54 or 55. Maybe those pictures will tell you something. It's unfortunate that the MPL does not list the radios...

Roger,

The tag (rear orange) shows Model 7264165 which is for 1954 Sedan with fader (rear speaker). Functional it is the same as for the 1955 Sedan which has a Model 7265825, not sure on what maybe the differences cosmetically.   ???

Anyway FYI hope this helps-> https://sites.google.com/site/identifyingcarradios/home/radios-1/cadillac

Good luck..!

Glen, as I'm not too familiar with those radios, I assume those 3 short pipes are for the radio antenna.
