1960 Chevrolet Corvair Wonderbar AM/FM/Bluetooth Dream Line Radio

Description

This dream line model has the exact fit of the original radio, with the correct knobs, backrings, and look, but it also comes with some additional features that were not available on the original radio, such as a ‘wonderbar’ and pushbuttons! With these added features you can seek up the dial with a press of the wonderbar button and save preset stations in AM and FM using the 5 pushbuttons!

Behind the dash, the radio case is only 3.25” deep, allowing room for air conditioning and other options to be added. The front chrome and dial glass are made to closely resemble the original. The AM scale is on the dial glass, while a smaller FM scale is hidden in the background. To switch between AM and FM just quickly turn the radio off and back on again.

This radio does not have a digital display. When the radio is powered on, the dial pointer and knobs move and work like the original did.

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 the links below for more information.
