Clearly power antennas were not offered on Judges, somehow this Canadian car slipped through, perhaps by accident? I suspect that because they were only building pattern cars at that time they hadn't formalized any conflict restrictions with options and this one sneaked in under the wire.
On a sort of related subject I had many years ago a 68 GP, it had a factory power antenna that got mangled a few times. Unlike the rest of the 68 fullsize Pontiac's the 68 GP had unique rear sheetmetal that included a very wide rear trunklid that was trapezoidal (wider at the bumper end than at the backlight end). So if you left the antenna up the antenna would rub against the trunklid as you opened it. Worse if it was half way up you'd catch the top of the mast closing the trunklid.
Obviously the problem with an antenna interacting with a judge spoiler is even worse.
