Would be great to learn if so. We’ve gone around with whether or not fm had a fixed mast also.

This discussion probably would be better suited for the 67-72 message board, but the answer is yes, at least based on the time I spent in my favorite junkyard looking at antennas. I've seen the type shown in Pete's post 12 on '72s and possibly '71s. Below is a shot of the base and bottom of the original telescoping antenna from my '69. The antenna lead has a cylindrical rubber "cup" that slides over the base. I should be able to post additional pictures by the end of next week.

I can't answer the question of fixed vs. telescoping antennas for AM/FM radios' However, I do recall owning a car (probably a '69 Olds or '65 Impala SS), which had instructions in the owner's manual stating that the antenna should be adjusted to 31" for best FM reception.

Additionally, the base Randy linked in post 7 does look similar to my base. The antenna lead in the link below also appears to be the same as mine. Not sure the length would be the same though.

As promised above.

I suspect this is too late and beyond the scope of this thread, but maybe someone will find it useful in the future. Realize this is from a '69. I believe '70s used the same style antenna. Not sure when they switched to the one Pete posted, but I believe it was '71 or '72.

The picture below shows all the parts related to the original antenna from my '69 except the firewall grommet. The parts on the left go above the cowl. Those on the right go below the cowl.
