WANTED – Your Little Deuce Coup

When her husband died, one WDAV listener wasn’t sure what she should do with the old 1988 Plymouth Valiant parked in the driveway. Then she remembered that its radio had been permanently set on 89.9 and it seemed fitting to donate it to WDAV. Your car doesn’t have to be new or perfect – heck, the radio doesn’t even have to work – for you to make a real difference to this station. If you’re curious you can find out more by clicking here.
