Sorry for the slow reply. Cord Crosley antennae were made of a galvanized sheet metal, and basically were 3 connected strips running front to aft. Philco antennae on Cords, were something different. Here is the confusion. Some Cords w Philcos have what basically looks like clothes line wire (also under the car). However, there is also belief that Cords w Philcos had a tubular sort of antennae with the antenna in a long oval, where the tube makes about two full loops (720º). Hopefully my attached photo will post.

Does any of this sound familiar to you Philco geeks? Also, is there anybody out there who might have a spare Cord Philco radio head?
