Well I have a question maybe someone here could help me with, Would my 46-62 series have a vacuum antenna? the car had no antenna when I bought it but there is a hose (maybe 5/16 dia. ) in that general area and I am not sure what it is for but it does go into the firewall. I never seam to think of it when I am upside down with my head under the dash to see where it goes.
If the car has a factory radio, it should have an antenna. And it was vacuum operated in 1946.
Thanks, the car did have an antenna but it had been removed some time before I bought the car.
Sheldon,
A vacuum hose in the general area of the firewall could be several things. An antenna would have 2 hoses one to raise the antenna and one to lower it and they would be accompanied by an antenna lead about the same size as the hoses. Other possibilities are vacuum windshield wipers, vacuum windshield washers and vacuum advance to the distributor.
Thanks for the replies, My wipers work, the car does not have washers and does not seam to have any sign that there ever was washers on it. my distributer has a small steel line for the vac. advance . Since there only seams to be one hose coming out of the fire wall I guess it is time to do the awkward head stand and see what the other end is attached to ;)
Thanks Bill, The hose definitely goes through the firewall like photo 2.. I always enjoy looking at pics of your cars. everything is always so clean ;D As for the head stand, I rewired everything under the dash this way so looking for a hose should not be all that bad :-\

$2,200 for 49 antenna.
I would use a coat hanger before I would ever pay $2200. Or use an ipod or something, maybe even just sing to myself. :o
