Hey guys, does anyone out there have knowledge about the Reproduction 1952 Chevy Radios advertised on eBay and other internet sites? They appear to be exactly like the original radios with new components. I'm planning to purchase one in the near future. Thanks!

no experience but Chevs of the 40's and NCA sell them also....not cheap, but may be worth the look if ebay does not work out, they are about $550 to $650 plus shipping, Bill.

I sent messages to 3 of the winning bidders on those radios on eBay. 2 got back to me and said the radio was not worth the money. There is a member on here that will convert your stock radio to modern AM/FM. I will see if I can find his name for you.

Unless you just won at the Casino, why not get your tunes with a small amp hidden under your dash with some kick panel speakers and a Mp3 player. You get FM and depending on size several thousand tunes without spending $500.00 bucks for a radio. Just my 2 cents worth.

Fwiw, I bought a replacement radio from RetroSound, an advertiser at the top of the page. Doesn't look exactly like my original radio but it still looks good after some paint detailing and it sounds great. I have the usb/mp3 module hidden in the glove box.
Here's an interior pic.
