I had one of those...didn't work worth beans.  Never had much luck with the 
converters...unless you had very strong signals to work with they didn't 
work very well.  They also had the selectivity of a barn door...a nearby 
strong signal would overload it.

My first car FM radio (circa 1972) was an underdash combo 8-track player/FM 
radio.  I think it was a Pioneer.  Used it for many years until I got my 
first aftermarket in-dash AM/FM/cassette deck.  It was a Pioneer 
"Supertuner", which was not "super" in any way whatsoever.  Piece of junk!
