Fwd: IML: CB Radio's and Antenna's

[FltSgt@xxxxxxx]

As we look around us today most folks look at the CB and make some type of 
ugh thought.  But they drive new SUV's or the such and the cars we have are out 
of yester-year  ( but they will line up during the parade and watch us ).  

Some four or five years ago I asked what was on our Imperials bumper.  I did 
this cause I had a original "Mustang Ranch" sticker on our '63 Le Baron.  One 
driver stated they had put a Nixon for President or sumthin like that sticker 
on the bumper.  Since that time others have thought it was some type of 
"catcher" and have done this also with older bumper stickers ( oh thank you ebay ).

I also pull a '27 1970 Air Stream with the cars and every trailer tower has a 
CB.  And I have a 1500 SE G/wing and we all use the CB when riding.  But I 
did not want a black Walmart plastic unit in the cars.  That is why I have 
Cobra's.

As it turns out the 40 channel Cobra 77x was first marketed in 1976 so it is 
going in the short Wheel-base '77 Dodge truck.  I will most likely get some 
short mirror mounted dual antenna's to go on each door.

As of this time I have no idea of what to do for antenna's on the Imperials.  
How about the magnet antenna unit just behind the rear window on that flat 
area before the trunk lid ???  Remember if I put it there, it will always be 
there.

Hola

During the sixties and seventies many had a CB Radio in their Imperial ( Lady
Bird Johnson for one ). Soooo, I went ah lookin. I know have three Cobra
CB's. The radio's are: Model 77x, a Model 29 and a 138. Other than the numbers
and size I do not know what I have in front of me.

Is there one of you who can educate me on when they were made and the such.

I want to install them in the '62 and '66 cars so what style of CB Antenna
and where do I mount it ???
