As some of you will know, I'm building a show car and I'm installing a nice period blaupunkt radio. I've bought a nos A pillar mounted Bosch blue tip antenna but my bug is a 64 so will be incorrect for the year. I'm unsure about whether to fit it or not or to try and find a nice quarter mounted antenna but then I thought heck, it's a custom car anyway! Help me make my mind up.

Who cares about 'year correct' . Build it how you want . I never liked the quarter mounted ones personally .
You'll never hear it above the IDA's anyway !

But you're not gonna pick up a digital station on a vintage radio . I imported a little Ford Courier pick up recently , got the original radio and single speaker which works . Its also got this little power booster device , which boosts the volume from 1db to about 1.1db .... Its only a little 4 cyl petrol , and it drowns the radio out ! |

Period perfect blaupunkt Frankfurt with matching speaker. Chromed for extra pleasure. It will be used when I'm polishing the wheels.  |

I thought all the antennas and radios were dealer installed so anything goes?

Corner of the scuttle mounted looks best, but 67 onwards?
