The STL stations use FM, not AM. If these were transmitting in FM, then you were receiving the signal in AM mode via slope detection, hence the tuning frequency error.

General Radio Discussion / Scoop: Congress moves to preserve AM radio in cars

« on: May 17, 2023, 1610 UTC »

A bipartisan group of lawmakers wants to make it illegal for carmakers to eliminate AM radio from their cars, arguing public safety is at risk, Axios is first to report.

The proposed legislation, to be introduced today by Senators Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and others, would require all new vehicles to include AM radio at no additional charge.

It's encouraging to get any signal at all this time of the year. Once we get to fall/winter, I think reception could be very good at times.
