Antenna Style for 1968

Short answer: The 1968 Firebird used a telescoping (manual) mast, not a whip antenna — regardless of whether the car had an AM or AM/FM radio. GM did not use whip antennas on the 1968 (or other 1960s models); they were all telescoping until the 1970s.

The main variation is in the ball/tip design — some tips have one groove, some two, some none; some are round, some oval.

For a replacement, a good NOS mast is usually the better route, since rechroming an original is difficult and costly.
