There is no cabinet (some GM concept car was the cabinet!), but it looks like it must have taken an 8" round tube. I think the most likely candidate is a 8AP4. So where do you find these? No luck so far on eBay.

The tuner and some of the components are too new to be early 50's.
It's more like 1956 or newer. The yoke is a narrow deflection angle type.
I doubt they used a 7GP4 or an 8AP4, as they weren't that available, even then. The 10BP4, always seemed to be available, way into the late 60's.
