Yep...  we owned at least one car growing up that had the antenna in the
windshield....  As I remember it, it came up from the bottom of the
center windshield... two parallel black (tiny) wires.  At the top they
each bent out toward the sides of the windshield about 2 inches from the
top... 1 inch diameter or so radius bend, and the horizontal runs were
somewhere around a foot long...

73,
