Hi All.. This is from my newly purchased 1985 IROC. I don't recall seeing yellow lights before.... Is this legit?

I have a radio date stamped 1986 and it lights up green, it's one of the delco radios with am/fm, tape, and equalizer.

I've never seen yellow, I know some 4th gens had yellow displays.

I seem to remember early Cavaliers having yellow displays. Not saying that's where the radio is from, just saying I remember seeing them.

That unit also looks really clean though, if it's been refurb'd at any point they may have just not put the right color lcd in it.

Do you feel that the radio comforts your very soul? If so then it MAY be a cavalier radio....

Ha! That's a great video. Shows a green radio display though. I was thinking earlier than that..the first couple of years, when you could get a type 10...

The car is inbound from Michigan to me in Raleigh NC... Once it gets here I'll pull it out and check the date and part number. I did buy the one you mentioned. Ebay, with the aux jack mod. :-)

I want to say my 84 SC had an amber display but that was 20 years ago.

in 1985,display type and color depended on the radio model-AFAIK,up through 84 f-body were all yellow LED except rare pontiac red LED units.Some 1985 up radios came with blue VFD display with lower-end models using the yellow LED through~1986. The 1993 camaro radio is blue VFD with a red filter to appear yellow.

80's Chevrolet Cavalier Commercial - YouTube

You just have to love 80's marketing lol! I feel the need to go watch the A-team, Airwolf, the Smurfs, or something else along those lines now...
