'53 Ford Customline Antenna Location
 

My '53 Customline Tudor didn't come with a radio. I've installed one and am trying to find the exact location to mount the antenna on the front right fender.

Right front fender - and almost impossible to add/replace an antenna and run the cable without pulling the fender off due to the hood hinge, heater duct, inner fender and the fact the cable goes through a grommet on the side of the fire wall and if you are using one that is a stock original appearing hard to align with the hole plus fit up the seal. I have replaced antennas on '52-'54 Fords, but only with exist fender holes and probably still have a scar or two:D

dealer option
 

A lot of radios were dealer installed options, and the location depended on the mechanic and alot of those antennas had the adjustable ball base.

wonder is someone is making the kind u stick to the inside windshield at the top.. they had them in mustangs but don't know of aftermarket...

Thanks for the replies, I have a stock antenna with adjustable ball base and before I drilled the hole I was hoping to get an exact location. It looks like about 6" forward of the aft edge and a couple of inches off the centerline.
