Blue tip versus red tip antenna
I own a January 1959 production A. I can't figure out if it should have had the red or blue tip antenna. Any ideas?

T-6 cars are most often associated with blue tips

Hi, I have a early 59A. It looks like is should have a red tip and not a blue tip, correct?

Re: Blue tip versus red tip antenna
I see there is a thread on this but cant find the answer to my question. I am trying to understand what would be the correct antenna for my 1960 T5... a red tip or blue tip? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Re: Blue tip versus red tip antenna
Bosch blue tip antennas are from the T6 era.
The top of the antenna mast on my '60 was broken off, so I have no clue whether it had a red or black tip.
