The Philco built all transistor radio first appeared in the 1957 Chrysler 300.
They only offered them for a year, as they were problematic. The next year they were using Bendix hybrids.
Dodge and Desoto used Motorola, where Plymouth used Philco and Motorola.
Philco was pretty much out of the picture after the 1958 model year.
