Hi,
I´m looking for the antenna bezel on the fender of a 1978 Eldorado. I would need the one with the larger rubber opening for the optional power CB antenna.
I have already contacted all the Cadillac part vendors that are listed in Hemmings. I have bought 2 incorrect bezels so far... I missed the correct bezel on ebay while I was waiting for one of the supposedly correct bezels to arrive from a parts vendor... :(

And this little bezel is the only part missing so that I can finish my 78 Eldorado...

It looks like the one in the attached picture. I would especially need the rubber part of the bezel in good condition - but I would of course also buy the whole bezel including the chrome ring. I think the rubber part is the same on all 77-78 Cadillacs equipped with CB antennas
I really hope that you can help me!

Thanks!
Gerald

Only an Eldo bezel will work, the other models use a different bezel. The 73-78 Eldos use the same bezel for the standard antenna, but the CB bezel will be a 77-78 (Eldo only).

Thank you Tim this is some very helpful information!
If I´m lucky I might have found a NOS part. I do hope its the correct one this time... The seller says he has compared the part number with the Master Parts book and the number is listed for the 77-78 Eldo only.
Until I do have the correct bezel in my hand I´m officially still looking for this part.
It has been quite a challenge  so far to replace the incorrect antenna on my car with a correct one - all these CB specific parts on the 78 Eldorado are really hard to come by and if you can find them be prepared to pay a lot of $$$$...
