Now "WHY" wouldn't that type of set up WORK on the rear of a
car ??? Instead of using the car as the"ther half" of the
antenna.....you would have an "equal,balanced-shortened dipole" on a
special mount. Naturally,you would have to fix it so that you could
feed it in the center of the antenna. Would this "thing" work as a
mobile antenna??

Sure it would work. How well depends upon the car. If you do model it,
you would need to include the car as part of the antenna.

Obviously a car made from plastic (there were two models, one made in France,
one made in Israel, both in the 1970's) or fiberglass would be a better
choice.
