I have a Ferris Car Radio, which looks basically like the one listed on this Ebay auction, minus the rust:

https://cars2.ebay.com.au/VINTAGE-1950-FERRIS-PORTABLE-CAR-HOME-RADIO-MODEL-M106_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ220657407681

It is missing one knob (but it might turn up). Untested, no idea what condition electricals are (has been in a garage, out of the weather, probably for at least 30 years).

My Father kept it for years hoping to restore it, so I don't want to throw it away. If you would like to take it, I don't know what it's worth (probably not much, except for parts), so I am happy to give it away to anyone who is really interested.

Just saw your posting tonight. Is the radio still available ? If it is could you find out the cost of postage to post code 4109 please. I would love to have it as I repair vintage car radios.

Regards

Rudolf
