Do you mean on an A body?

Yup. Starting around 1954 and all the way to the end.

Windshield antenna was first used in 1970.

But yeah, we need to know what car and year, since in the 60s most factory installed power antennas were on the right rear fender.

Even on the wagons. When was the last time you saw one of those?

There was a 60's 4 speed Olds wagon on evilbay with a factory power antenna.
It was on the top of the left rear quarter next to the window.
It would be tough to get them in on later wagons with the fuel tank on the left and the spare tire on the right back there?

it would be on a 69 a body

Passenger's side rear quarter.

Here's a '62, the same year deal wagon I saw.
They are cool, when they work.

On my 69 Vista I Had to get the windshield antenna. Even though it's not hooked up. At the time it was the only glass they had [and I didn't care that it was "technically" 70 glass]

66-67 Olds wagon power antennas were mounted on the left rear quarter panel.
