Anyone know why some 914s have the radio antenna on the right front fender as opposed to the left? I do not see any correlation with model year or market region specs. For instance, here is a photo of an alleged "Creamsicle" (US Spec - 1974) currently for sale in the classifieds (antenna on right):

...and here is another US Spec 1974 914 with the antenna placed on the left fender:

Can anyone enlighten me as to what determined location, or did the Karmann factory merely have a single drill located between two production lines? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

FWIW, I had a early 74 model which had Blaupunkt Frankfurt and antenna on the right side. I never saw another like it since. Dealer discretion perhaps.
