just a very strange idea is to make a copy of the 1936 Cord 810 antenna, wich was hidden under the floor just to preserve the stylisch body from a mast (scroll down here)

Another little question I'll throw out there: I've reinstalled the radio but want to make sure I connect the power cable to the right place. Elsewhere someone posted the original installation instructions and they state to connect to the terminal on the ignition switch marked "Rad". Well, I got my head up further under the dash than I previously thought possible...but still didn't see any such label. I would guess it would be connected to the accessory terminal on the switch & that would be very easy, but I don't want to overload it.

I don't recall seeing a RAD label on the ign switch. Postwar thru 53 they have been labeled COIL, AM, and GA. For 54-6 they went with the standard BAT, IGN, ACC and STArt. AM is the same as BAT, GA is the same as ACC, and COIL corresponds to IGN on the more typical switches.
GA is typically the long terminal on the switch and would be where the radio would best connect on the 23rd series if you want the radio switched off by the ign sw. A closer point to the radio would be the same as the 22nd series instructions recommended in using the terminal on the gauges where the metal jumper bar connects.

Thanks, HH56-I went ahead and used the crossbar and it was the perfect location for the wire!
