<VV> 1965 Corsa Rear Antenna installation

[DTerry8123 at aol.com]

The picture of the base and the cable placement looks exactly like mine.  
You can see the knurled nut that connects the cable to the antenna.

Attached  are some shots of my 1965 Corsa Rear Antenna installation, from a
car I  recently acquired that was sitting since 1992 up on the hill,
fortunately  in the California sun.

The 2nd "owner" bought it to strip the engine  for a dune buggy, and just
left the rest of the body outside, where it just  sat for 22 years.

Anyway, it has the 3U73AA no-cost optional Rear  Antenna installation
according to the original winder sticker I got with  the car (attached).

I hope that this is an original that may answer  your questions?

The original rear antenna on my 1965 Corsa had a connector at  the  antenna
end of the cable that unscrewed from the antenna similar  to a  speedometer
cable.

My  original (and  GM replacement) rear that the cable of  mount came with a
cable  attached.  (The original mount corroded badly from  water
infiltration.  I found another rear mount, probably for a  full-sized  
Chevy,
to replace it.)

I've never tried to take the  mount apart to see  how the cable is attached.
While I am curious,  it's one of those cases of  "if it isn't broken, don't
fix  it".
