First Transitone radio
#2

My great grandfather, the man I am named after, was the head civil engineer for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. In the early 1930s he bought a Buick limousine. In it was one of the first car radios in South Carolina. I don't know if it was a Transitone, but I suspect it was. My great grandfather taught my father to drive in it, and my father was the only person besides himself that he would let drive the car. My dad told me about the car and the radio.
