What I recall about these mobile telephones (at least in NJ when I lived there)
was that they didn't put quarter-wave VHF whips on roof or trunk but used a
genuine coaxial dipole on about a 2 foot long mast installed on a fender. I
guess they felt that a better way.

This is from another list. It is an interesting trip down memory lane
about the evolution of the mobile telephone.
