Blaupunkt made a "portable" that slid into a kind of sleeve for use in the car. It is possible that this is what you had. The sleeve contained contacts for power, ground, antenna, and speaker. It's also possible that this was a similar radio made by Grundig or Becker. I've never seen one of these in person, but perhaps someone else here has.<< It's most likely to be a mount for a Blaupunkt Derby portable, but as Jim says several German radio manufacturers offered these--Akkord is another brand that was sometimes installed in VWs. Several European radio dealers that are actively selling them on eBay. They're great sounding radios and most included shortwave. The good news is that you have the rare part, the radio itself should cost you around $100 at most. Make sure you do enough research to be sure you're buying the right radio for your mount.
