CSF RS560

This radio strikes me as impossibly French:

The white face, aluminum knobs, tiny speaker and meter, unusual dial - it's a very interesting looking radio !  It actually reminds me of my stereo from JC Penney which had that same look with the silver face and metal knobs.

MCS 3210 - I never liked those metal knobs

  

The RS560 is a solid state receiver from the 1960s with germanium transistors.  Looking at the internal pictures with the shielded boxes I imagine a very expensive radio machine.

What does impossibly French mean ?  something like this:

The wheelbase was different on the driver and passenger sides due to the rear suspension :)

Remember the Renault Alliance ?  One of the last of the "Kenosha Cadillacs".  I remember reading something similar about the car - but I couldn't find the article online.  In the case of Renault, impossibly French seems like an automotive version of: "deal with it" :)
 

I also remember that there was a Washington Island + AMC connection - at one time there were island men who worked building cars in Kenosha.  I used to see more AMC cars on the road here on the island but I think that time has finally gotten to them.
