Product Description
Nash built some of the most distinctive American cars of the 1940s and 1950s, from the Airflyte to the Rambler and Metropolitan. Owners of these cars know how hard it can be to find parts that fit. This KHE-300-USB with Bluetooth by Ken Harrison is the Nash version, made to fit the factory dash while giving you modern music sources.
The Nash Version
This listing is the version of the KHE-300 made for Nash. Because Nash dashes varied a lot by model and year, contact us with your car's details before ordering so we can confirm fit.
What It Does
- Manual up/down tuning, seek and auto scan
- Separate bass and treble controls and a 4-way fader
- LCD display with blue illumination and clock
- Auto antenna power lead, RCA pre-outs and rear auxiliary input
- 200 watts of output (50 watts x 4)
- Bluetooth wireless audio streaming
- Front USB input for MP3 files
- Front mini SD card reader
- PLL synthesized AM/FM tuner
- 6 AM and 6 FM presets on extended pushbuttons
Old Look, New Sources
The KHE-300 looks like a classic pushbutton radio, with extended preset buttons for 6 AM and 6 FM stations. Behind that look are a front USB input for an iPod or MP3 player, a mini SD card reader, Bluetooth wireless streaming and rear auxiliary inputs. The PLL tuner with seek and auto scan finds stations quickly, and the blue LCD shows the clock and frequency.
Electrical Requirements
Many Nash cars were built with 6-volt electrical systems. The KHE-300 requires 12-volt negative ground, so a 6-volt or positive ground car will need a converter. Contact us if you are unsure what your car has.
Options
- Front dual voice coil speaker, which plays both stereo channels through a single dash speaker
- Rear 6x9 speaker pair, Custom Autosound or upgraded Pioneer
- Hideaway antenna
A dual voice coil speaker is a good choice for cars with a single dash speaker opening, since it plays both stereo channels.
Before You Install
Inspect old wiring carefully, use a fused power source and make a clean ground. An auto radio specialist can install the radio if you prefer. Vintage Car Radio sells the radio and accessories but does not offer installation.
A Nash is a conversation piece wherever it goes. The KHE-300 lets you enjoy your own music on the way without taking away from what makes the car special.
Ease of Use
The KHE-300 works the way you expect a car radio to work. Press a preset button for a favorite station, turn the knob for volume and use the bass and treble controls to adjust the sound. The modern features are there when you want them, but the radio never feels complicated in a vintage car.
