Whats the hole for?
I just bought a 40 Ford Sedan Deluxe It has a hole in the top center of the dash. Can somebody tell me what this hole is for? ( Not the hole above the gauges)

I could be wrong but I think up to the 40s they had "safari" front windshields. Which would have a knob there to open the windshield. I know that in 42 they did not. No reference for the 40 car.

The hole in question would be for the antenna. If the car did not have a radio It would have a maroon plug. If I was around my 40 Deluxe, i would have attached a photo

I used the hole on my 41 to mount the electric windshield wiper knob, handy and no more holes drilled. Al
