continued restoration
I am continueing to restore my 58 and am looking for some information maybe someone could provide. The radio antenna on this car is installed on the right front fender. I have never seen that on any other 58's, and I think it belongs on the left rear fender. I am planning on moving it but need the exact placement to be accurate. Does anyone have a measurement for where it's supposed to be?. Maybe from the top of the tail light to the center of the antenna mount?
Also. the 2 rear reflecters under the tail lights are missing. I was looking on line for replscements and found 2 options. One is just the reflecter with the bezels and mounting kit. and the other comes with an LED light in them. I don't think the originals were lighted but would like it if someone could confirm that. Also I need to find the exact location of the reflecters as well. Maybe another measurement from the bottom of the tail light to the center of the reflecters? If anyone could provide me with this information it would greatly be appreciated.
Thanx
Everyone have a merry and safe Christmas

I owned a 60 , that had similar rear antenna and reflectors .
I would suggest that you look at the inside of the body where the antenna was supposed to be installed to see if they filled the hole .
If not it might explain why they mounted it up front if it never had a radeo .
I don't remember if the reflectors were accessed from the inside .
Good luck with your research and repair .
