Thanks, guys! I plan on filling out my profile soon. The photo you posted, HH56, should be helpful. Right now I've decided to go with a manual fender mount but just need to decide if something from NAPA will be close enough. I have one on another old car in my collection and it worked well enough; just not sure if it will adjust for enough angle on this fender.

I was checking out the 2 radios that came with the car & learned they're different models. The "parts set" (which could be brought back to life, I believe) is model PA393607 which a page I found online says is for a '48, while the one that was installed is PA 393772 which supposedly was original for a '50. The only difference I really see is the dial lamps: black lights on the older unit, a single bulb with a green shade on the newer. I'm not sure if it matters much. I started replacing the capacitors tonight, with hopes that nothing else will be needed.
