While poking around a salvage yard recently, I came across a red 1991 Volkswagen Jetta GL sedan. In addition to boxy design language, it had another period-correct feature: a detachable-face, single-DIN aftermarket radio.
The scene took me back about 25 years. The 1989 Honda Prelude that I drove to high school in the late 1990s had a radio with a removable faceplate. You might be surprised to know that some manufacturers still make them. Below is an example of a newer JVC head unit.
