Hello Bkazmer:

Would be happy to park along side-by-side for a comparison. Drive on over from Grand Rapids for the Spring Open House at the PPG.

Remember, these are accessories and many were installed at the dealer and by the dealer from his source of stock. Unless you had a copy of the factory build sheet you cannot tell for sure when and where that accessory was added to your car.

I would even bet that more than one dealer used non-Packard approved antenna mounts because he could get them cheaper/faster from the local parts store rather than waiting for PMCC to send out the "approved/correct" mount from Detroit. This may be why my 1941 came with a factory radio, but an after-market antenna with two (incorrect) mounting points. At my first show I got points deducted for an incorrect antenna mount and fixed it shortly thereafter.
