Re: 1942 Roof Antenna

Hello John:

If the rotary roof antenna is as expensive as HH56 says, then you may want to consider replacing it with the cowl mounted variety. American Arrow of Clawson, MI reproduces the 1941-42 spear-shaped base and Yesterday's Radio of Ohio reproduces the plastic base that the mounting spear sits on. Just remember the 1940 base is different from the 1941-42 style.

Then you buy a replacement antenna mast with cable at any good car radio shop and mount the mast to the base.

But, then there is the cost to metal finish the top and repaint.
