Topic: 36 Ford "concealed " radio speaker

  I am aware of what a 35 closed car header speaker looks like, but from reading I understand that 36 had something different. Does anyone have a picture and/or description of of what is correct for a 36? Thanks, Cam

  The 36 closed car speakers were over the windshield behind the fabric cover. There is a knockout in the steel panel the covering the wiper motor. The fabric covers the speaker which has a grill over the speaker cone

  Here are some images of the speaker, the hole in the header panel and the speaker mounted in the panel.

  Perfect, Thankyou very very much. I suspected that may be the case, but it was only a guess on my part. One more question though: What held the speaker in place? I suspect the hardware would be hidden as well??

  Here's a composite from the 36 radio installation manual that should cover everything about mounting your speaker.

  Look close and you will see a place for a carriage bolt.
