<VV> 1961 antenna removal

[J R Read_HML]

I don't have a '61 car.  But most from that era are just unscrew the "nut" - 
might just be two flats - or might be a kind of "crown" shape - at the top 
of the base.  There is a swivel clip on the underside of the fender.  One 
side is longer than the other (so heavier).  Let the end of the antenna go 
down into the fender an inch or two.  The swivel should tilt and allow it to 
clear the hole in the fender.  If it is rusted into place, you might have to 
help it a bit with a flat edge screw driver through the hole.  My '61 
Rampside has this style antenna - but I don't know if it is stock.
