Re: [Chrysler300] 1957 thru 59 Front Fender Radio Antenna

Rich,

Thanks for finding the link. The antenna looks very similar to the one I have on my C, however, last Thursday at spring meet had a chance to view another C and instead of black plastic cap the part was metal (pot metal?) and had provision on top of cap for a wrench.

The gentleman that owned the car thought the antenna was factory original as he had owned the car for 40+ years.

I understand this is still anecdotol information, but, too me it makes sense the factory antenna would be chrome plated and have the wench feature.

The antenna that is shown on the link looks like the same type I purchased 17 +/- years back and always thought was correct.

Understand mfgrs can have more than one supplier for purchased parts (ie antennas) and this may be an example.

Just my 2 cents.

PS. My antenna works just fine.

Hey Gary -

It's manual. Show quality.

Try this link instead: https://photos.app.goo.gl/KB3g069YFFr1K5Q03

It looks the same. But maybe a space got in there, messing things up.

Thanks,

Ron
