Such hidden antennas are doomed because the metal in the bodywork "shields" or
blocks signal, both AM and FM.
One possibility is a magnet mount antenna like the cops use on undercover cars.
The coax in this case comes out of the magnet base, right over the back deck,
under the carpet, into the back of the radio.
You'd want a 'VHF' type, not UHF or cellular, since this is nearest in
frequency to the FM band.
One supplier is Tessco.com but do a Google for 'VHF magnet mount antenna.'.
Maybe $50.

I used a hodrod styled hidden antenna on my 66 SPL311. It didn't work too well.
The unit was mounted horizontally inside the trunk. Unfortunately, I don't know
if its was a problem with the antenna location or the radio itself.
The hidden antenna company recommended stashing the antenna horizontally under
the dash. I think in this application it should work well.

hi, all.
I'm thinking of using a "hidden" antenna instead of drilling a hole in the
nicely painted bodywork
anyone using one successfully?
thanks!
