1961-1962 C1 RetroSound RetroRadio - Chrome
If you love the factory look of your C1 but you’re tired of pretending that AM radio is better than nothing, this RetroSound RetroRadio is the best of both worlds. It’s a retro-style direct replacement that fits like the factory unit and keeps your dash looking period-correct, but it brings your C1 into the modern era with Bluetooth 5.0 streaming, hands-free calling (mic included), and a strong built-in amplifier so your music can actually compete with that V8 soundtrack. No cutting, no trimming, no hacking up your interior; it installs clean, looks right, and delivers the features you actually use today. You also get an AM/FM RDS tuner with plenty of presets, an auxiliary input for wired devices, global tuning options, and non-volatile memory that remembers your settings even after power loss or battery disconnect. Chrome finish, chrome buttons, classic Corvette vibes, and modern audio that finally keeps up.
