Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen a Nash Rambler! One of my aunts had one ages ago.

OJ I am about to put on up at my current house, I am tired of $100 plus for TV reception from cable or Direct TV. I will pay for internet but am weary of paying for TV.

Us too for the same reason (in spring when I can mount my foreign object on our roof) . For now we have installed a Roku device and subscribed to Net Flicks.

Hulu plus amounts to a DVR, most broadcast shows are available the next day on Hulu Plus. Net Flix and Hulu Plus pretty much cover it, plus the 15-30 over air channels most can get with the antenna. I just need my Pawn Stars and American Pickers fix and they are on Hulu Plus. Of course all of that is predicated on fast broadband capable of streaming, I get 32Mbs download and streaming requires 6Mbs for a single stream.

That red VW in the OP clearly needs an equalizer hitch, otherwise he's good to go.
