I've ordered several antenna from Dennie Turner in the last couple of years
and they are beautiful. They also include rubber and hardware, so you're
ready to go.
Dennie is also a very pleasant person to deal with which is
a big plus to me.
Hope this helps.

Walt,
As with you, I would initially balk at the $350
price. So I would climb into the truck, trek to one or
more wrecking yards in hopes of finding a suitable pair of
matching antenna masts that would "look correct" on my car (they are usuallly
vandalized in our local yards), negotiate a price with the junkyard
man, bring them home, clean them up, fit them to the bases I had, and
install the Goers rubber parts. Hmm, that $350 price doesnt seem so
outrageous anymore. I would have complete, restored, matching,
(and I trust "correct") antennas delivered right to my door.
Just my opinion this fine sunday morning!
good luck!

Does anyone have any sources for antenna?
I am looking for the dual rear antenna for my car and the only place that I
find that has them wants to sell a complete kit for
$350.00. This price is from a Dennie Turner from
Florida.
I really only need the mast themselves and the
rubber trim at the car body. If anyone has some or know where I
might find them I would appreciate the help. I should try Gary Goer for the
rubber trim piece.
An interesting note, there is an antenna set
for a 1957 DeSoto on Ebay that I believe is selling for more than if you
bought it from the same person above.
Thanks
