65 442 radio replacement question

Hello, trying to maintain the stock look of the radio, but would like to rebuild or replace the current AM radio. Not looking to install a hidden radio, but trying to just improve the sound and add FM reception, thanks Jerry.

They can convert it, they are pricey but it will look factory. I used them and it works great. Again pricey.

I used a 68 Pontiac am/fm stereo radio just bye taking off the 65 face plate and putting the 68 on it worked great. But the Pontiac radio is just like Olds pricy to buy.

Thanks all, probably look at something that has a retro look but with all of the modern functions of current systems.

I have a Custom Autosound USA 630 in my 64 Cutlass. Looks fairly OEM but will play via bluethooth and a USB thumb drive from a port in the rear. Sounds OK and works with modern speakers. I have a speaker in each kick panel and two in the package tray.

I currently have the dash in my 65 442 apart and will replace the stock stereo with the same one as above.
