Can you guys help me with the repair of a 1956 power antenna? Any construction drawings, exploded views, repair help? Seems that the nylon cord is out of the antenna hanging down and the aluminum tube is off.
How does that go together?
Thanks so much!

I have this illustration from the parts book, if it helps. The one on the upper left.







Also, be aware that there were two separate manufacturers of power antennas used by Oldsmobile in 1956.
They were Casco and Pioneer.
The following pages denote some information and part numbers

Thanks so much, but it seems that the antenna that you show is a different one. I was told that the above (see photos) is the real 1956...

Yes indeed, The illustration is for 1958, but it's the only one I had of a power antenna.

If you scrape enough dirt off the motor unit, you may find a data tag.
It should list the manufacturer as well as a model number.
