...or just take a look through the Philco Gallery right here on this site.

Retroroy, based on your description, it sounds like you are describing a model G978, a 1959 model.

Unfortunately, the Gallery does not have a color photo of this model. (Neither, for that matter, does Radiomuseeeeeeum.) A few color photos of this model may be found online through some diligent searching. Here's a link or two...

Some observations:
The G978 had four knobs, not five. And it did not have FM Stereo (this did not become common until after the FCC approved the GE-Zenith FM multiplex system in 1961). This is the only radio Philco made, that I am currently aware of, which had a top-facing dial with split AM and FM dial markings.
Hope this helps.
