Correct me if I'm wrong, but the panel with the radio and speaker seems to be from a 1960 I think...??
The radio itself is correct for 1959; that's why the bezel of the dial does not fit properly to the curve of the panel.
Compare it with the dash of my '59 below.

Hi fnoti,

That's just what I do; going through the car for many years, changing and fixing things. I bought mine in 1995 and I still have many years to go. It will also never be a showcar though.
About your dash; I think the upper dash of your car was torn (like so many of these years), and that a previous owner found a nice '60 upper dash. These are almost identical to '59, except that the radio panel does not fit. So, if you replace the '59 upper dash with a '60, you will also have to replace the radio panel.
Your steering wheel is a '59, and as far as I can see in this picture, also your instrument cluster is '59.
B.t.w., I also notice the speedo cable hanging under the dash; guess your speedometer does not work?

That's beautiful. Yellow is my favorite color.

If you like yellow I have just the baby for you.
