1963 Chevrolet radio is designed to look, fit, and feel just like the original. Behind the dash, the radio case is only 4.5” deep allowing room for air conditioning or electric wipers. The AM/FM ‘roll over’ type dial looks and works exactly like the original and the radio band is selected by using the slide bar. This radio does not have a digital display.
When the radio is powered on the dial pointer, knobs and pushbuttons all move and work like the original. Every radio comes equipped with Bluetooth® for wireless audio streaming and hands-free phone control. Other features include a 3.5mm auxiliary port to plug in any compatible device such as an MP3 player or a CD player as well as another input jack specifically designed to work with our foot control switch. Each radio comes with a 12 ½” 12 wire harness with male and female connections for easy connection/disconnection. This harness includes power, ground, a 12-volt output wire (for options like a power antenna or amplifier remote connection), 4 speaker connections and dial lights. The radio also has 4 channel RCA outputs for an external amplifier and a subwoofer RCA output. Please see links below for more information.
