Radio antenna
Where should the antenna go on a 57 Fairlane 500? I have seen sweep type in the center of the trunk lid but that doesnt appeal to me.

Re: Radio antenna
Just a random photo or two found on the internet...
On the right front fender. Looks like it could be in line with the back edge of the tire??? Last edited by dmsfrr; 01-16-2021 at 09:55 PM. Reason: add photo |

Re: Radio antenna
My understanding is that when a car had a factory equipped radio, the antenna was put in the trunk for the dealer to install. Most were installed on either side front fender, but usually on the right front fender. There was a diagram from ford that showed where the antenna was to be mounted, on the right side front fender (at least for the TBird).
I think the swooped back rear mounted antennas were either a dealer unit or a Ford authorized accessory.

Re: Radio antenna
years ago when I had a '57 , the antenna was on the rt ft fender. I have seen twin antennas on the rear quarters, but they looked terrible to me
