The Continental stereos have a ~period correct appearance with some modern features. If you decide to go that route do be careful as they have different options including 24V that you probably don't want. They got a lot of comments for a while, but not much lately. Search for more.

Google is your friend! I've heard good things about Doc's for decades. There are a number of places adding Bluetooth to older Blaupunkt & Becker radios, too, like Creative Car Audioshop.com.
