Classic style radio needed for 65
OK, Custom autosounds gets HORRIBLE reviews, Retrosound just doesn't look too great. What else is out there with the classic look and good performance? I don't want the cassette or cd players but an auxiliary input is needed along with a good sound. If the classic look comes secondary, what else fits the dash without cutting but has the best sound?

I know that Custom Auto gets bad reviews, but they have been in business for almost 40 years, so they are doing something right. I bought one to replace the 28 year old one that was in mine when I bought it. I bought the USA 66.
I think most of us use the radio as secondary noise to the beautiful music of a well tuned SBF!!!!!!

I've installed a few of the USA66 radios, no problems, sound isn't half bad with good speakers. It's an excellent replica of the stock AM/FM radio, but is internally modern. The buttons don't tune it like the original, they control a remote CD changer.

My step dad had one of there radios in his 55 chevy it sounded like crap and died 2 years later.If it was me i would leave a none working stock radio in the dash hole or get the radio delete and mount a din size under the dash or in the glove box.

I've been running a USA 66 in my 65 convertible for around 2 years. I never use the radio though (reception does suck, at least where I live). I got the ipod adapter for this radio and ran it down into the glove box of my non-A/C console. I just open the door, hook it up to my ipod, close the door and I get my tunes for as long as I want and nothing to mess with the appearance of my interior. I put together a great 50's-60's cruzin playlist that beats any oldies radio station.

I've got a USA66 and it has worked perfect. I even got it from a guy that had it new, in a box for a year or 2 before I put it in.. If you are looking for a more high powered head unit then I would go with a modern one.
