I'm going to assume that most dealer installed antennas were Hirschmann. That said, what was the top mounting cap like? I have 2 OE Hirschmann antennas, each having a different style mounting cap. One is black and the other is chrome. The antenna is stainless with a black cover cap with the Hirschmann logo on it. Which was correct for a 70-74 car?

Pictures of your original antennas would be nice, if you have time to post them.

If this topic has previously been covered, my apologies.

Thanks,

Greg

I would say 90% are what ever the dealer or installer had. The other 10% came installed from the factory. I know that the dealers could order just an antenna or antenna with speakers installed, leaving it to the dealer to sell the radio.

As for the antenna itself there MIGHT have been several options. Hirschman, Blaupunkt or Podding all made antennas in Europe. Harada or Motorola were used on lots of aftermarket installs.
