1942 car radio?

[46fatford]

I have an NOS radio head from Motorola that says it is for a 42 ford, but will fit others. The knobs and buttons are maroon, which is correct for 42. The problem is I have never seen another like it. It looks completely different than a 41 and it doesn't look like any 46-48 I've ever seen. Mine has seperate buttons instead of the large clear pieces for the stations. Any idea what I actually have? I'm not sure how to post pictures yet either.
Thanks
Matt

Nice 42. Love the engine setup. Are they covers over the original heads?

Yes they are. A little different look with out going for al heads.

The dial of the 42 is convex. Not flat

I also have a NOS radio head like that you describe. I think it must have been a non-factory, after-market option available for '42 and up fords. Whilst I haven't actually tried mine in the dash, it looks like it would fit.

I thought I might modify mine to operate an MP3 player or a later model AM/FM - CD player unless I can find the correct radio to go with the head unit. Does anyone have a photo of the correct radio to go with this?
