Location: Upplands Väsby, Sweden | Hello
I saw these antennas at Ebay. Is this the original, if not original why so expensive?

I do not think they are original. I have the same antennas on my Windsor bought cheaply on Ebay for a few years ago.
I personally feel that they fit.
(Original nos antennas that I saw a few years ago on Ebay, they would have $ 850. I have no money to buy them that)
Pic at antennas from Ebay, orginal?

Location: The Centennial State | Boy, that is a nifty looking '59 Chrysler convertible! The same set of antennae is on the '58 Plymouth in http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=27348&posts=28&start=1 I don't think they are factory original for a '57 - '58 Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler, or DeSoto. |

Location: Kangasala, Finland | They are nice looking antennas. I have a set of those sitting on garage shelf. They are NOT original 1957-58 Plymouth (nor MoPar) antennas thou. I would say they are aftermarket ones. I planned to use them on my Fury but found NOS OEM ones instead - ones like in the third posting.

Location: Upplands Väsby, Sweden | Ok it was what I thought they were not original, but very nice model of antennas.
Was funny how the "original" packaging looks to them.
And "after market" seem to have a value

They might not be factory, but do look good on Windsor59's car.... the price is outrageous for them at $660.....
I see some for $100 starting bid, then good luck after that ... maybe someone should adk the seller why so much for a non factory part.... |

I didn't see this one until after it ended. Was this a 'Reserve' auction? or a 'Buy it Now' auction? It looks like the seller started with a $45 opening price.
Maybe someone should ask the BUYER why so much for a non factory part?

They may have a cable and some thing-a-ma-jigs included, but look at the rubber gasket. It is the same as the dummy antennae rubber gasket - no hole for the cable! |

I do not think they are original. I have the same antennas on my Windsor bought cheaply on Ebay for a few years ago.

Joakim, I've got the same kind of dummys on my Dodge, I've been told they are aftermarket accessories from the (early) 60s.

Location: Lemoore CA | I bought a set of duals a while back that were not original Chrysler parts, but it seems like the ad said N.o.s. dual rear antennas for 57-59 Dodge Plymouth. When I bought them I knew they were aftermarket, but thought they would look good anyway. When they arrived, they came with vintage mounting instructions that showed an illustration of a 57 dodge. Technically the antennas I bought were not misrepresented, they did however leave out the word aftermarket. A certain ammount of responsibility does have to be placed on the buyer to check before spending big money. 99.9 percent of the time I have been burned by a sellers description, it has beeb because I did not take the time to check the facts for myself. |
