Retro Radio Parts
Knobs, faceplates, push buttons and power converters for RetroSound radios, so a modern head unit looks right in a classic car.
Match the finish to your dashboard with chrome, black or ivory knob sets and radio faces, or add a 6 to 12 volt converter for older cars with 6 volt systems. These parts fit the current RetroSound motors, which you can find in our retro car radios.
Finishing a RetroSound install
Choose the radio motor first from our retro car radios, then pick the knob set and face that match your dashboard and trim. Chrome suits most 1950s to 1970s cars, while black and ivory match later or more muted interiors.
