The 806 is the "standard" model, but the same set also was custom built, called Models T-7 and T-8, and was used by Nash Motors Company.
This info is from the 1931-1935 Service Manual for Autos, publication Part No. 39-4250. Same info also appears in Philco Auto Radios publication PR-1096, 1931-1937 and publication Part No. 39-5600 from Oct. 7, 1937.
The 806 bulletin is dated March, 1935, so it probably came on the market in mid to late 1934. This set must have been very popular, since a Production Change bulletin from Sept. 1935 list changes up through Run 11 already.
The "standard" 806 could have been installed in many different autos it seems Earl. If it was a Model T-7 or T-8, it would have been for a 1935 Nash most likely.
