the standard is a coat hanger bent into the shape of either Australia or a vw logo...

my old 63 had an aftermarket aerial fitted to the side, just behind the front guard, buy one from super cheap...

depends on what look you want, have a look through vw pics and see the differences. i like the dual side mounted ones, lots of different ways to mount these.

Antennas made for late VWs [1968>] are still fairly common..
they fit next to of the windscreen on the LHS... in the hole that was put there in the factory.... they are not expensive...


If its an early model Beetle, You have to drill the hole/holes for the antenna... they used to be normally - wherever the dealership used to put them -
either on the LHS or RHS just in front of the door....
they used to use a long antenna with two attachments in the panel... ie two holes are needed... the antenna doesn't sit up straight, but lays back at an angle....

or You can use a common universal antenna with just the one hole....

Mitsubishi Galants used the boot as an antenna....
it was just insulated with rubber washers and spacers and it worked very well.... I never heard of any Galant owner having His antenna bent or broken....🙂🙂🙂

i reckon one of those little modern springy ones that look sorta like little tails(only about 5 - 10cm long) that you see on the back of beemers and such just above the rear wondow wold look great on a bug.
