Product Description
The 1964-65 Buick Skylark was Buick's stylish A-body intermediate. This KHE-300-USB with Bluetooth by Ken Harrison is the 1964-65 Skylark version, made to keep a classic look in the dash while adding modern features.
Fit and Ordering
This version is made for the 1964-65 Skylark dash. Contact us with your model before ordering to confirm fit.
What Makes It Different
Ken Harrison designed the KHE-300 to give classic cars modern sources while keeping a period look. The extended preset buttons work like an old pushbutton radio, and the blue-lit LCD shows the clock and frequency clearly.
Keeping the Dash Original
The dash is one of the first things people notice in a classic. A radio built to fit the factory opening keeps it looking right, protects the value of the car and avoids permanent changes, while still giving you the convenience of modern sources.

Sound Shaping
Separate bass and treble controls and a 4-way fader let you set the sound for your cabin.
Getting the Best Sound
Start with fresh speakers and good wiring. Old paper cones and corroded connections hold back even a great radio. Set the bass and treble modestly at first, then adjust for your cabin; open cars and trucks usually need a little more bass than closed coupes and sedans.
Before You Install
The KHE-300 requires a 12-volt negative ground electrical system. A 6-volt or positive ground vehicle will need a converter, so check your system before ordering.
Disconnect the battery before you start, check the old wiring behind the dash for brittle insulation and use a fused feed with a solid chassis ground. A qualified auto sound shop can handle the job if you prefer. Vintage Car Radio sells the radio and accessories but does not offer installation.
Sources at a Glance
Radio comes through the PLL synthesized tuner. Your own music can come from a phone over Bluetooth, a flash drive or iPod in the front USB port, a mini SD card in the front card reader, or a wired device in the rear auxiliary inputs.
