Installing a RetroSound car radio in my 56 Clipper

Posted by Xavier Brulez On 2009/2/15 18:05:13

Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone had replaced the old genuine radio by an 'new' retrostyled radio, placed one in a car which hadn't a radio at all?

When I bought my '56 Clipper there wasn't a radio in the car, the filler panel was still place covering the pre cut space for a radio.

Right now I have two possibilities: searching an genuine AM tube valve radio and be happy with some humming and rattling noises or installing a new 'retro like' radio.

I choose the 2nd way. So right now I found the retroSound Model One radio which has a modern radio function, USB port ( hidden in the glove box ) and a frontal 1/8" aux in terminal. See for examples at www.retrosoundusa.com .

Does anyone of you knows this radio? Is it a good radio?
Sound quality? Which facia plate do I need to fit in my Clipper?



Thanks !

Grtz,

Xavier
