Anyone have any idea what this antenna came off of? I would like to find a matching one. I have searched on-line but have not seen a photo that is similar. Thanks for any help.
similar but not the same https://www.ebay.com/itm/394377738585? https://www.ebay.com/itm/225239967287?
yup, vintage aftermarket. it looks like it collapses way lower than the ones they currently make, based on how close to the bottom first change in mast size is
Ok that makes sense because I swear I have looked at every rig I could think of. Go figure. Thanks again for the info
interesting, that's the only bumper mounted radio antenna I've ever seen. But is it factory installed there? I kind of doubt it. https://shoebox-central.com/1949-1950-1951-mercury-car-correct-antenna-chrome-new
rockauto has this one that looks pretty vintage, but I bet it doesn't collapse as far as the one you have does... https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4921305&pt=99&jsn=327
This was the lowest profile electric antenna I could find that wasn't 8' tall. Even so it sits high compared to the one in the picture.
