[Mobile-Portable] Antenna Mounting Suggestions Needed for Older Volvo

I want to install my IC-706 MKII in my 1984 Volvo. The issue is where to
put an antenna mount as I do not want to drill holes in the body. This
is the old boxy looking Volvo that was made from the late 1960's till
1992.

Has anyone on this list ever installed an antenna on one of these older
Volvos. It does not have a "real" bumper.

I have had many mobile installations over the past 34 years but this one
has me kind of stumped. I am currently running an FT-900  and a Hustler
in a 2000 extended cab Chevy pickup but the Volvo has become my primary
vehicle due to gas prices.

Thanks for any help. I can post some photos if needed.

73,

Dave N7RK
