IML: re the radio in my 1968 imperial

If it is a stereo, as your subject line implies, it does not have the seek

If it has the seek buttons and floor activator, it is not a stereo. 

AM-FM does not imply stereo.

Stereo implies the 5 speaker setup (4 on convertibles) - if you do not have
speakers in the doors, you don't have stereo.  Unfortunately, the reverse is
NOT true - in  other words, you can have the 5 speaker setup without having
stereo - if the car came with an 8 track player.
Thanks, Dick. As usual you've done a great job educating. It's not a stereo, it's an AM/FM radio. It does indeed have a floor actuator, and there are no speakers in the doors.
 
This begs another question: can it not be converted/upgraded to stereo? I have no objection to improving the sound quality and even adding speakers, if necessary, so long as the original radio with it's correct functionality can be maintained.
