     Dear Forum,

     and, therefore, the cassette-MP3 adaptor doesn't work and I am left
     with the radio.   I expect to drive from Oklahoma City to Phoenix and

     good.
                      The nearby car stereo shop knows Panteras and
   offered
     what I wanted, but the modern units require cutting the dash to fit.
    I
     was told that the "chassis" size of the Pantera is no longer
     manufactured.  Sigh.
                       I was not keen on cutting the dash.  They offered
   the
     option of a company that services the owners of classic and vintage
     vehicles,  Custom Auto Sound,   [1]https://customautosoundmfg.com/ .
     They offer stereos that fit and have the required functions.  They
   look
     a bit retro, but I do think that they could work aesthetically and
     sonically.
                      Anyone have any recommendations for my conundrum?
   Oh,
     and no Bluetooth and no smarty phone.
