You're right Super, and that's probably why ours is cowl mounted.
But on mine, the center top clamp has a rubber plug just below the "hook". Am assuming that was to accommodate the "thru the windshield header" antenna that was used on some cars through early 1946.
There's a diagram on page A-4 (Fig A-7) in the 1941-1948 Ford Book that shows what looks to be a small knob under the fastened top center clamp. Guessing you had to get your thumb and index finger on this to put the antenna up and down! Can't imagine that was too convenient when the top is up, but hey, that's how Henry wasted no parts!!
