RetroSound's Model One is a Modern Classic Solution

If you have an old school muscle car or retro-rod and you've tried to upgrade the audio system to something a bit more modern, then you're already familiar with your painful choices: either put the new radio in the glovebox, an underdash or custom-built console, or *gasp* cut the dash to fit a modern radio. Mounting a radio in the glove is fine, but controlling it can be complicated. An underdash shroud can look hokey if not done right. Custom built consoles can look really hokey if not done well. And cutting the dash... Well, for most that's simply NOT and option.

Old school radios use a shaft-mount system where the radio mounts from behind the dash panel and is secured in place using the shafts from the volume and tuning knobs. And sometimes the shaft opening is not a standard size, requiring even further modification to the dash panel. Modern radios use a standard DIN opening and requires a rectangular opening (approx 2" x 7") to accept a new radio.

But don't fret! If you want to respect your elder and maintain the classic OEM interior, better options are available! Take RetroSounds Model One radio for instance. I've seen a few modern shaft radio solutions, but this example is by far the most advanced yet. Get the details, pics, and check out some videos after the jump!
