Internally most of the good AM car radios I've met had mechanically
ganged slug tuning, although variable capacitor tuning existed too.

That's great if you're comfortable adjusting the mechanics of the
radio internally to get the tracking right. Remember, you won't be
broadening the tuning range, you'll be shifting the tuning range.
