[my66cruiser]

Good afternoon.

Every now and then I have to use a car cover on my '66. I don't want to make the antenna hole in the cover this time (I have been doing that for years) as it is time for a new cover.

Not having the antenna present will save me lots of time of always having to put the antenna through the hole.

I have loosened the antenna's nut in the past and lifted out the antenna but the cable appears to be permanently attached to it at the antenna end. Is the disconnection point at the radio or is it a two-part cable with some midstream male/female connector?

Any suggestions on how to cover the hole once I pull out the antenna? I was thinking on buying a used base with broken antenna as I don't want to seal up the hole. Does someone sell a "dummy"?

Also, I don't need this antenna to function in case you were wondering. I have the original AM radio and 8 track still in the car which I will restore in the future as the radio is intermittent, but right now I have another stereo system in mind that won't interfere with the original. Thanks.
