This airplane seems to be a Piper PA-28 Cherokee.

If you grew up when and where I did, you know KXRX as the first radio station to play Grunge Rock. And also Roy Otis.
A Piper Cherokee 235 C , I believe I repainted this plane for an employee who bought it from the station in 1968 or 69 !
At night in the late 70’ “Double X” KXRX played some good easy rock.
