Customs What is this???

Can someone tell me want this car antenna came off of? Thanks for all the help

 

Could that be the base of a mirror?

 

If there are any casting numbers at all inside, let us know. If not, probably a Japanese knock off of a swept back antenna. Usually mounted on the trunk lid in the middle. Pairs would be mounted on either side of the trunk opening. I have deen this dealer option for Ford Galaxies(1963) and Edsels(1958). They look similar to the ones you see on 1958 Impalas.

Not very common to see a mirror base with an antenna wire connector on the bottom like that.

 

Looks like the one that came on a 54 Ford Customline I used to have. Mounted on the rear.

 

Ford accessory, 1955-56
They are now reproduced. They were very pricey a decade ago, now not so much

Sorry I was looking at my phone and couldn't see it that well

 

it's an easy to miss detail.

 

55-56 Ford rear mount as shown, is correct. I also saw one on a 54, mounted in center of the trunk lid, But I think it was not factory installed.
