If I remember correctly, in the late '80s / early '90s, Phillips made
an in-dash AM/FM/SWL/Cassette car radio. Always wanted one. I'm sure
there are still a few lurking out there.

Hey...just checked. Here's a Sony car stereo that covers SWL bands,
too!

They used to be popular in Europe where SW broadcasts were commonly used
as sources of news and entertainment. There may be many models still
available there. The problem with using them in the U.S. is that the AM tuner
will not work properly as the stations are 9kHz apart instead of 10kHxz,
and the FM stations will sound different.

I doubt that anyone driving in a car would notice the difference (it's
due to how the high freqencie sounds are processed) and the tuners may
be set or modifed to 10kHz spacing, or tune in 1KHz intervals.
