Lets not lose sight of the fact that the Reverb function was an early attempt to add stereo without having the needed Radio signals.
What it actually did was to take what was playing on the dash radio and delay the signal and then play it on the rear speaker. So, it's a electronic trick, to fool your ears. Point being, it's interesting in itself, but not all that for long trips.
If your intention is to tour in your car, then do the conversion and enjoy modern sound from the Airways, your phone, or a player in the glove box or under the seat.
Your pride and joy is there to make your "Feel bad feel better", so do what aids that and note that it matters not at a Car Show.
I miss my "L" that I had for 49 years (with Reverb)

Hi Rick: Please keep in mind that you will NOT be able to use the reverb feature in your 300L if you put in a radio that is upgraded with the high power output feature, Sirus, etc. I am keeping my am/fm radio with the reverb option all stock in my 300L ht. I have done those conversions for years using the kits from antique radio out of florida which are no longer available.

This is a good discussion. I have a 65 300L with the AM/FM reverb setup and power rear antenna (which looks cool I might add). I would be interested in possibly gutting an AM radio and doing what you are saying there to have the AM and FM and Sirius XM and hands free phone options while driving. I will not do that to my factory AM/FM. I have several other 300Ls to do it with and some donor 4dr Chryslers for this.
You may also consider a rear power antenna setup like my 65 has. Again, I just think they are really cool.
Anybody have any suggestions on who would be able to do this conversion?
Thank you,
Rick
