dbehnke 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I was able to locate are refurbish a radio for my 1938 Dodge Business Coupe. I am currently using a late model radio antenna but I would like to install the proper type and style. I would like to have a picture of the appropriate location and style of radio antenna. My research so far indicates that a cowl mount radio antenna was used. Any help would be appreciated. D BehnkeDelaware Ohio Link to post Share on other sites
Reg Evans 58 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 My 38 D8 came to me with this broken antenna mounted on the side of the cowl. Don't know if it's correct but that's where my new one will go. Copy/paste the photo link.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/olddodges1/38%20D8%20coupe%20CLYDE/MVC-014F.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
dbehnke 0 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Dear Reg,I really am grateful for the picture of your '38 Dodge coupe radio antenna placement. I had one other picture that showed the cowl antenna placement on the drivers side, but your picture is much clearer. Thank you very much.Doug Behnke Link to post Share on other sites
hwellens 212 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 My 38 Dodge did not come with a radio, but, had carriage bolts in the side cowl where yours are pictured. Removed them and installed an antenna like pictured. Link to post Share on other sites
Reg Evans 58 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 You guys have motivated me ( any day now ) to install my new antenna I've had for more than 6 months. Link to post Share on other sites
wbower3 0 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 My '38 radio (now in the attic) had the antenna mounted under the passenger side running board. Link to post Share on other sites
hwellens 212 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 The 38 Dodge sales brochure shows the antenna on the side cowl, but, also shows an antenna that could be mounted under the running board. Picture attached of 38 Dodge from Chrysler archives Link to post Share on other sites
Mika Jaakkola 1 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 How does the one look which is bolted under the running board? Link to post Share on other sites
