Buick Electric Antennae

[Davii]

Anyone know of anyone selling rebuild electric antennae kits for mid-50's Buicks? I need to repair or replace mine on a 1955 Buick Special. Thanks in advance for any leads.

At one point the "power" antenna was vacumn operated. If it is electric, I have worked on sever and will post a picture at the bottom as an example of the earliest I have seen.

All I can say is I might be able to repair it........ the big problem being replacement parts.
I would be willing to see what I can do if you pay the shipping.

Barney: Thanks for the offer. The car is in the body shop presently; when I get it back, I'll confirm what I believe. . .that this is electrically driven, not vacuum. Then I'll get back to you. I'm certainly willing to pay for shipping, parts and whatever else is required to get it functioning again. I'm located due north of Georgetown in Santa Fe, NM. Thanks again for your response and generous offer! Steve
