I can honestly say I have never seen one of those. Wow! 6 channels!

 

wasn't 68' a little early for the CB craze?....seems like early to mid 70's

 

CB's were around long before the "craze" started...

 

I have one of these that is missing the mike. It was sourced from Lafayette Radio, made in Japan, packaged for Buick.

They were dealer accessories til 1973. I have one in my '68 GS400 Convertible, my Dad bought for a buck. It works, haven't used in a while, though!

 

Cool upgrade IMO. What kind of antenna did they use though and where was it normally mounted?

 

I didn't know cb stood for citizen band. Cool. I have a cb from my parts car I should try to sell

Didn't even know they were available back then, but it is listed in the '68 body and parts book under accessories.
Fits all '60 - '68 Buicks, and probably later years, it also has a seperate part no. for the cb antenna o No:

 

I think these had a separate antenna that clamped to the forward edge of the trunk lid. Later factory CB's that were integrated with the regular radio used just one antenna with a splitter.
