Stan, I'm going to take a semi-knowledgeable guess on this one.
Back in the 30's 40's and into the 50's police dispatch was done just above the am broadcast band and a bit in the two MHZ band. The dispatch was first only one way from the headquarters to the cars on patrol. Lots of the old radios could tune up into the dispatch frequencies just above the am band. Maybe this is a part of the answer to your question. Add to this fact that perhaps lots of the radios of that day were just designed to tune a little above and maybe below the broadcast band.
