Bring back the clear sound of period-correct radio reception with this side-mount single post antenna, built for 1950–1979 Air-Cooled VW models. This replacement antenna features a durable black paintable base, stainless-style mast, and a 64-inch (1.63m) coaxial cable for strong, clear signal. Designed for easy fitment on the fender or A-pillar, it’s the ideal solution when your original is bent, missing, or rusted away.
