Default Death of the auto antenna?

Yeah,
Bought a new GM sedan last June and its hasn't got an external
antenna, the rear window heater is the antenna.


My parents 90's Buick had the antenna embedded in
the windshield so it's nothing new.


An antenna embedded in the windshield, which worked well--now that would
be something!

My old buick had an active/amplified one--I would like to replace the
one of this new buick with it (and I have no idea where the antenna
is--perhaps it is the rear windows defroster!)



I had an 87 Pulsar and a 99 Windstar that both had windshield antennas.
They both worked well. Crikeys, that's over 20 years ago!

GM may have had problems, but that is likely due to something other
than inherent flaws of that type antenna.

I wonder if the writer is going to follow up with a story about
transistors replacing tubes? hehe.....
