1941 Ford Super Deluxe Radio Antenna Beneath Car
Good evening, gentleman.
I recently pulled the radio out of my 1941 Super Deluxe to pull it apart and see how it looked. All the components seem to be original. I don't know whether I'll try to replace all of the capacitors and other related components, but in looking at tackling this project, it made me curious about the antenna. I noticed shortly after I first bought the car that the antenna (definitely not stock) is attached to the frame beneath the driver side door - it's an extremely long antenna, with a spring base. My question is: where would the original antenna be? There isn't a spot for it on the roof nor the fenders, so I'm curious where it would have been. Was it ever common to put radio antennas beneath the car?
