Default Vintage car aerial etc

Hello,

Does anyone remember a type of car aerial that I once had? Not sure where it was bought from (Halfords?) but it was a telescopic type fitted into a hole drilled in the car's front wing and operated by an electric motor and a housing with a spiral flexible rod that pushed and pulled the top bit up and down whilst making a hammering noise. (It never did work very well!)

Also, perhaps OT but at about the same era (1970s) I had a stick-on rear window de-mister called 'Frost King' that I bought from a newspaper advert. This also was not too good. Wonder who made this? Could it have been a Mr. A. Sugar?
