I'm having a 7-Tube Deluxe Radio restored and will install it in my 37 Sport Coupe. I found a wiring diagram for one of the other radios, which shows two antennas running under the running boards on both sides. I've not seen an antenna for these before and didn't realize they were mounted under the car. I've never seen any antenna offered for sale. Any suggestions for how to provide an antenna for this?

This is my first post. I'll really appreciate any help you can provide.

Actually, the under running board antenna does it's job well. Their are several NOS running board antennas available for sale and I think it includes one for the 1937. The prices run from $800.00 to $1,500.

So for something practical use, the two post side cowl mount antenna. They are also an efficient antenna and many $ savings from the under type.

Contact the person restoring your radio and have him replace the antenna receptacle with the female Motorola type. You will be glad you did.
