Electric antenna for 64 dynamic 88

I have my radio in for repair and updating. I want to install a new electric antenna. The car came with one but it is in need of replacement.The shop doing the radio can't help me...anyone know where I can find one?
Thanks

No doubt this will have to come from another '64 Olds or a lucky find of an NOS piece on ebay or something like that. Good luck. If you want an actual 1964 Olds power antenna, you could spend years looking for one, or you could get lucky and find one tomorrow. Have you considered aftermarket at all, or is that not something you want to consider?

I will try an aftermarket....only concern is will I be able to connect it to the body as the original was. I may have to make some "fly by the seat of my pants" connections. I don't want to make any new cuts,drill marks or obviously bad connections when I mount it. I did speak to a company today that has some power units that may work.
If they work out I will post it. I will mention cutlass,98 and others for future use.
thanks

You can get those antennas rebuilt. Interchange is 63-4 Olds B & C car.

The antenna itself is common to Olds and Buick, but the mounting rings are specific to Olds. Chev and Pontiac used angled antennas.

I found aftermarket electric antennas at "THE PARTS BIN.COM" The are not exact fits but are for 88,98 and F85. They are compact and should attach w/o major effort
