Product Description
The 1958 Chevrolet stands apart from every other year. It was a one-year body with quad headlights, sculpted sides and a dash full of chrome, and owners of Bel Airs, Biscaynes, Delrays and Impalas from that year tend to be protective of the original look. The KHE-300-USB with Bluetooth for the 1958 Chevy is designed to give you modern music without spoiling that look.
Made for the 1958 Dash
Ken Harrison builds the KHE-300 in versions for specific vehicles, and this one is made for the 1958 Chevrolet dash. It is designed to fit the factory location, so the dash stays uncut and the radio looks like it belongs. You can choose a black or chrome nose piece to match your interior.
What the KHE-300 Does
According to the KHE series owner's manual, the KHE-300 includes:
- Bluetooth wireless audio streaming
- Front USB input for MP3 files
- Front mini SD card reader
- PLL synthesized AM/FM tuner with automatic mono/stereo
- 6 AM and 6 FM presets, with preset scan and auto store
- Manual up/down tuning, seek and auto scan
- Separate bass and treble controls and a front/rear fader
- LCD display with clock
- Auto antenna power lead, RCA pre-outs and rear auxiliary input
- 50 watts x 4 channels (200 watts of system power)
For long drives, a USB stick or SD card loaded with music means you never have to touch your phone. For short trips, Bluetooth streaming lets you play anything from your phone. And when you just want the radio, the digital tuner holds stations far better than an original set.
A Good Fit for a One-Year Car
Because 1958 parts are unique to that year, it is worth getting a radio made specifically for it. A universal unit can leave gaps, odd trim pieces or cut metal. A dash-specific classic car stereo like this one keeps the 1958's distinctive dash intact, which matters for both appearance and resale value.
Add Speakers and an Antenna
Build a complete system in one order using the options above. You can add a front dual voice coil speaker, which plays both stereo channels through a single dash speaker, a rear 6x9 speaker pair (choose the Custom Autosound 6x9 pair or an upgraded Pioneer pair), and a hideaway antenna that avoids drilling a fender for a mast. A dual voice coil dash speaker is especially popular in cars of this era, where there is usually just one factory speaker opening in the dash.
Installation Notes
Confirm your car is wired for 12-volt negative ground and inspect the wiring behind the dash before connecting anything. Many cars of this age have brittle insulation or previous splices that should be repaired first. Use a fused power feed and a good ground. Ken Harrison's manual recommends having the radio installed by an auto radio specialist, which is a good idea if you are not comfortable with automotive wiring. Vintage Car Radio sells the radio and add-ons but does not offer installation.
