Classic car radios and electrical spare parts at Padua fair.

From Alfa Romeo 6Cs to Lancia Aurelias: Auto e Moto d'Epoca covers the entire spectrum of electric car radios, a niche which is well-known by enthusiasts of the spare parts' market.

The world of car radios is peculiar and fascinating: for a long time, only luxury cars were equipped with sound systems and featured a designated space for them on the dashboard. It was only at the end of the 60s that middle-market cars started to be manufactured with a removable panel in which to install a radio − and not all of them were lucky enough to have this feature.

There aren't that many vintage car radios out there; consequently, the demand for them amongst collectors is high. At Auto e Moto d'Epoca, you can find 80% of all models in circulation. People who specialise in these kinds of spare parts are not only traders, but also restorers themselves; they give original devices their ‘voice' back, using fuses and circuits retrieved from other systems.

This is but a small fraction of what you can find on the electric spare parts' market, which ranges from headlights to parabolic headlamps (the refracting part of the the headlights), distributors, spark plugs, cables, and indicators.

It is a diverse market in Auto e Moto d'Epoca which offers an ample choice covering all vehicles and historic periods.
