RetroSound is Introducing the new Long Beach – the only SiriusXM-Ready™ radio for classic cars.

Retro Manufacturing, the industry leader in audio solutions for the classic restoration market will be shipping their newest radio offering, Long Beach this fall.

The SiriusXM “All Access” package includes Howard Stern, every NFL, MLB®, and NBA game, every NASCAR® race, plus NHL® games and PGA TOUR® coverage, as well as access outside the vehicle to SiriusXM on smartphones and other connected devices and online at siriusxm.com.

Long Beach is a full-featured radio, with Made-For-iPod®/iPhone® compatibility and built-in Bluetooth® for hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming. A powerful 25 watts x 4 channel amplifier is built-in, and RCA pre-outs and subwoofer output are provided for adding external amplifiers. Long Beach has a 32,000 color display to customize it to your vehicle’s interior. Two USB inputs for iPod/iPhone or USB flash drives and two standard auxiliary inputs provide plenty of flexibility. It fits a wide variety of classic automobiles thanks to RetroSound’s patented InfiniMount adjustable shaft system.

Long Beach is available in five styles: chrome face and push-buttons, black face and push-buttons, chrome face with black push-buttons, black face with chrome push-buttons and chrome face with ivory push-buttons. Officially-licensed radio dial screen protectors with all the popular GM, Ford and Mopar logos are available separately. Long Beach has a suggested retail of $399.99.

    Original radio in my 1991 GMC Syclone’s sound switches between speakers and goes dead periodically. Can it be fixed. Want to keep original look in a replacement.

      Hello Dennis,

      Your car is new enough that numerous radios are still available in salvage yards and they used the same radio in multiple different models.
      Visit car-part.com and you’ll discover multiple units available and most below $100 in A-Grade condition.

      Wrench Safe,

    I am converting my 55 T Bird from 6 volt to a 12 volt system. Do you have a classic radio xm / sirius ready to fit my dash with no modifications?

      Hi, Phil. In regards to your model A. during 1931, radios were chiefly an aftermarket accessory with the control head secured to the steering column with cables running to a tube styled radio attached to the inside firewall. Few manufacturers offer a conversion for these. Although if your Model A is a street rod, then simply choose a radio with the features and style to complement your interior. The ’39 Buick radio is a unique piece. There are numerous companies that will take your original radio and convert it with all new internals, with a wide range of options including AM/FM, CD, Bluetooth, etc. I would recommend this a good option for your build.

The Chevy has a Pioneer with all bells from radio to amp to 10″ Kickers , Clarions inside, to little 3″ in dash. I do have original radio but no intentions of reinstalling it. What’s ur take on both

      Hi, Gary. If you’re happy with the tunes your Monte Carlo is pushing out, I wouldn’t change a thing, unless there is something you want to add like satellite radio. You’re T-bird sounds like it’s ready for an upgrade, and I would take a look at all of the offerings from Autosound, as they’re going to fit the original radio location and look like they belong there.
