Default Re: Vintage car aerial etc

I remember the power antennas well - two of my cars still have them and they work fine. They are still available new from most car spares shops.
The stick on windscreen aerials were good for FM but suffered terrible interference on AM as they weren't connected to the metal bodywork.
As another variation, who remembers the type of aerial that clipped onto the side window glass? You wound the window down, clipped the bracket on then wound the window back up so that the telescopic rod was outside and the cable was inside to connect to the radio........
The rear add-on demister element i remember was the sort that was like a metallic zig-zag made out of what looked like tinfoil.........
