1956-1957 Corvette and 1956 Chevrolet Radio Lens, “Wonderbar”, Sold as Each

This is a reproduction radio face lens for the "Wonderbar" signal seeking radio used in the 1956-1957 Chevrolet Corvette and 1956 Chevrolet passenger cars. It is the clear lens that covers the radio's dial face, made by a GM licensed manufacturer using original GM tooling where available, and it is sold individually.

The Wonderbar was Chevrolet's premium signal seeking radio, and it is a centerpiece of the dash on a restored Corvette or Bel Air. After seventy years, the original lens is usually yellowed, cloudy, scratched or cracked, which makes the whole dash look tired no matter how good the rest of the restoration is. A new lens restores a clear view of the dial and is one of the most noticeable small details a judge or buyer will see.

Because it is made from original tooling, the lens matches the factory shape and mounting tabs. Compare the tabs with your original before installation, since radios of this age were sometimes repaired or modified over the years.

Will it fit a 1957 Chevy Bel Air? This lens is listed for 1956 Chevrolet cars and 1956-1957 Corvettes. If you have a 1957 passenger car, compare it with your original lens before ordering.
