 for unbreakable antennas like the ones on the Jeep Grand Cherokee?  It's a
 one piece, full length antenna that will bend to the hood of the car, but
 not break.  It does not retract in any way and can go throu9gh a car wash or
 possibly a small civil war without damage (as opposed to the stock vanagon
 type).  Any ideas?

I have no idea if it would work or not, but you may luck out with a CB
antenna. They are flexible and have quite a range on them. If nothing else,
you may be able to fabricate something at the base to allow free play on a
ball/hinge system of sorts. It's be worth a shot I think.
