First update.
I've sorted a heater. There were a number of heater options available from factory, and quite a few popular aftermarket options around at the time too.
The car was originally bought in Jan 1962. A heater was the last thing on his mind.
Anyway, here it is.
It's a cast box, with a fan and a core. The flaps on the front are doors. They open and close to control airflow and direction





And a radio.
It's what they call a picnic radio. It slides into the cradle, which is mounted into the dash.
When it's in the cradle, it operates off the car's battery, however, you can slide it out and run it on its internal battery and take it with you on a picnic, or to the footy etc.
Aftermarket options like this were very popular back in the day, especially given the price of the factory option.
