Radio Antenna

I talked to my Dad the other day and this is exactly what he's going to do with his speedster. He said the undermount antenna's are basically worthless.

I haven't talked to him yet, but my recollection was it was sewed in behind the trim that runs above the seats?

Mike,

I think on my Dad's car the radio antenna runs behind the seat. He's down in Florida now, but when I talk to him I'll find out. I can probably get you some pictures.

Does any one have a radio antenna for a 1935-36 Auburn I could use as a copy to make one for my car? This is the antenna that goes under the chassis. Detailed drawings would also work. Thanks
