Old LMR aftermarket stuff from the 70's and 80's

1) I am trying to find the vendor of a device manufactured in the 80's to convert a Mostar mobile into a porta-mobile. I think it was Gamber Johnson. Basically it was a battery box with a handle that would accept a Mostar sized radio. It was marketed at a time when 800 MHz portables were MX360 sized 5 channel behemoths. Who made this? I would like to find a part number or catalog sheet. Actually would like to find one of these.

2) In the mid 70's one of the big mobile antenna companies came up with a covert UHF antenna that mounted below the speaker hole of a vehicle's rear package shelf and used the vehicle roof and windows as a waveguide. It was sort of a cavity type antenna. I don't think it took off because folks were getting concerned about getting fried with RF at about that time. Does anyone recall the ads for this? Who sold it?

The 'package tray' antenna was a wave guide type that the open end mounted in place of the rear deck speaker. UHF 460 range.

I am trying to find who made it and the model number. Any recollection?

I found it in the picture's file name ASP1000A. The patent is on file with the USPTO as well.

OK Thanks for the quick answer on #2. Has anyone an answer to #1?
