    I've been meaning to post this thread for a while, but things have been pretty busy lately. Anyway, something (or someone) broke the antenna off my 1990 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. It was a standard antenna (not powered), and it's just not the same without it. The radio signal is weak and sometimes the reception fades in and out. Does anybody know where to find an OEM antenna to replace it with?

    Type in "oem gm parts" into google and you'll get a couple of hits to search out. GM Parts Direct had it listed for like $13 I think.

    Thanks, Kevin! I checked it out and it seems like a pretty good option. I'm getting tired of my CD collection. Plus, even if I didn't care about the sound quality, I'm tired of looking at that broken antenna. Thanks for the info!

    That would be especially convenient because I wouldn't have to wait for shipping. Thanks!
