Hello KCMike,

               The Philco ad that you are referring to, in the 1940 March issue of Radio Retailing magazine, is what I believe is showing a picture of Philco's line of "regular" Auto Broadcast Am radios with its separate dash mounted remote tuner control head. The ad later on explains about its "New" Short-wave Auto radio, but no photo of it.

I originally saw this same ad awhile ago, but after closer examination, I do not believe it is a photo of Philco's "New" combination Short-wave and AM Auto radio. That is why I am hoping that one of the members will have some Philco literature on this particular radio, which will also show a photo of it.

Thanks for sharing your info-Rick
