Ozstatman, guess that gives me an excuse in the future to buy another car! But I'd settle for this one being built in the 40's for now. I hadn't looked into the exact date-I know the back of the speedometer is stamped mid-August '49 which, in modern terms, would be the next model year. I did have a series 61 Cadillac once (much rougher condition than this, "beater" status) that was a '50 and I'm pretty sure I figured out it was built in '49.

I've read a lot about the various hidden antennas but nobody seems to have much success with them on AM. The best bet short of a normal installation seems to be a regular universal mast installed horizontally underneath the car. I'm also closely studying another option that was mentioned to me by one of the members on here.
