Default Power hookup for CB Radio

I'm installing a CB on an 06 convertable. I want to connect to switched (if possible) power in the trunk or behind the seats where the radio quick connect will be. Does anyone know if such power is available there?

Why? A CB antenna will really ruin the vette.
Buy a trans am or cell phone, leave the vette unmolested.

I'm more interested in what you're planning on using for an antenna. The ground plane requirement at 11 meters is fairly significant, and the normal connection to the car body isn't possible since it's not metal.
