The broadcasting boom reaches not only the living-room radio but also,
starting from 1930 the automobile radio became a reality. Its success
was due either to many technological issues such as: the superhet
circuit, new types of components, the 6,3 volt valves, noisy supressors,
the dynamic loudspeaker as well as by the great interest arose among
the young people to have in his car the confort of music and news.

Therefore, it is interesting to note that the most relevant aspect
