Default Radio Replacement

Has anyone used and have experience with Antique Automobile Radio?
Thinking about upgrading my stereo system. Looking to keep the stock look but with modern features. If there are other suggestions, welcome to those also.

I’ve had good experiences with my Custom Autosound radio. Appears stock when off, has Bluetooth, USB, and a jack for an aux cord.

I got the kit with two new 4x6 speakers which wired in very easily. Their rear soundbar went in very easily too when I installed it 3 years later.

I have them in the footwell behind the kick plates currently, but I’ll be moving them to sit underneath the dash pad where the stock speakers are.
