Is a 1965 Imperial power antenna same for new yorker?

[emmd61]

I want to upgrade my 65 NYer wagon. Does anyone know if a 1965 imperial power antenna is correct for a C body wagon?

Thanks---Arthur

In short, no. Power antennas were not available on C body wagons until 67 and were front fender mounted.

Here is some information:

65 Imperial power antennas were front fender mounted and retracted fully into the fender. However there is not enough room on C body front fenders and hence they were rear quarter mounted (with a little bit sticking out above the quarter when retracted) until 67. In 67 you could get a shorty front fender power antenna which also didn't retract fully into the fender.

Imperial power antennas had a different bezel arrangement than C body power antennas as well.
