Re: Power Antenna Identification

Stude apparently used Casco and Pioneer antennas and looking in the service index for 57 accessories there are four Stude service bulletins that mention different size bezels for rear antennas on 57-8 models and have photos of antennas. Your motor orientation does not look like any of them. Switches are not shown but the antennas for 57 Clippers have a different shape on the fender mounting part. Those look like they might be metal but the black bakelite on yours almost looks like it might be for a front fender mount. As I recall the space is very limited -- right next to the vent door -- if they mounted electric in the same spot as the older manual crankup antennas. That might be why the motor is so compactly placed.

The part number falls in the range given for a lot of the individual parts in the antenna options but I didn't find that specific number either. Most Stude only items seem to have 6 or 7 digits starting in the 1xxxxxx range and their accessories start with ACxx. They did keep the Packard PA-xxxxx for some items so if there is any kind of accessory number on the box that might be faintly stamped or covered up it could help identify.
