The earliest ad I know of is for the '56 Imperial, and is  one of my favorites:  http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1956/Ads/56ImpCows.jpg

  The 1964 Ghia Crown Imperial Limousine formerly owned by Cecil McCall  had been equipped with a car phone.  The imprint of the unit was  still visible in the trunk, and the antenna was still attached to the  deck lid, when
 it was filmed at the 1999 Atlanta Meet --  http://www.imperialclub.com/Events/Atlanta1999/index.htm
  The antenna and the impression of the unit are shown in the video of  the meet at http://www.imperialclub.com/Events/Atlanta1999/FullVideo/
