Aerial in the roof?

Theres a nice HQ 350 coupe on eBay with an ugly looking aerial in the middle of the roof.
Theres a Barbados green HQ GTS4 for sale through AMC with an aerial in the middle of the roof.
Ive just seen photos of two nicely restored GTR XU1's with aerials smack bang in the middle of the roof.

Why would someone restore a car and leave the aerial there?
Maybe its just a period correct kind of thing, or is there some other reason?

Lot less susceptible to breakage than a guard mounted one. Ive got one on my panelvan, same aerial for over 15 years.

Only need a short one on the roof. Right up above any body that may cause interference in picking up broadcast transmission. Practical and looks cool.
