Yup. This look.

I'm normally inclined to agree that form follows function, but not in this case, and certainly not on this car. I can get the "radio" from an app on my phone, or from an Amazon Echo, including actual radio stations with lots of commercials, and not need a radio antenna, or even a radio, just a bluetooth amplifier hidden in the back. Usually I just listen to the sweet Chevy V8 music.

I've decided to keep the power antenna mounted on the car. I'm just going to disconnect the relay so it doesn't raise. I can't get past the look of the rubber plug in the quarter panel.
I'm still planning on using the cheesy looking hidden antenna posted above for FM reception.

I filled my antenna hole in and put in a powered hide away antenna.
