Installing twin electric rear antennas
pass side fits perfect
drivers side will require a cut in the wheelhouse to allow for the antenna to tilt
drivers wheel house is longer because of fuel filler
hope i can cut and make a small box for the bottom of the antenna with out hitting the fuel filler !!

Twin angle antena would be period correct, a lot of people added that custom touch to there cars in the early to mid sixties.

Not sure if I like the rear antenna idea on an Acadian. I thought they were usually on the front right fender. If I had to pick one of your choices, I think I would go with the angled back look since it will make less wind noise when you are at cruising speeds with the top down.

Single right rear antenna looks cool on an Acadian. Dual antennas to me look overdone, sort of like Continental kits. Yes, dual antennas were a period accessory, just like fender mounted spotlights. Maybe it's just me but sometimes less is more.
