We asked Joe's Classic Car Radio (www.joesclassiccarradio.com)  if they could restore a Pontiac radio in a 1959 Pontiac.


Follow along with the photos and see how  his company did an outstanding job at taking our old radio and making it as good as new. Joe says every of his radio restorations come with a lifetime warranty, and this radio came with a modern AUX input to allow us to attach an MP3 player to the radio.

Wow. We were impressed. Joe restored our radio in under two weeks, unlike a two-six month wait from some of the other guys, and he provided a CD with images of his work. Best of all, the price was only $250 for a full restoration.
