Anybody know if there is an available replacement antenna that is retractable, but manual? I don't want to hassle with a power antenna, but I would like to be able to put my antenna down when I want to. Doesn't have to be OEM or anything. Just something that will work.

Thanks,

B

A quick search netted this:
AM FM Radio Antenna Bosch Blue Tip Oldtimer Type Aerial | eBay

Austin Healey 3000 100 Sprite AM FM Car Radio Antenna | eBay

I'm thinking of converting my fixed mast antenna to a power unit from a 70's Caddy can motor style. I just need to figure out how to give it a closed off finish similar to the units I linked. Factory units left a hole in the body with a snap-in escutcheon.

I may have found a solution. Crutchfields has a universal that's says it will fit. Just got it in the mail yesterday and I am going to put it on this weekend. I'll write back after the install.
