Default Help me identify this wire

I have had this 2001 c5 for a couple months now a d am just now going over the ins and outs of the car. Trying to get a handle on what is what around the car and I have not been able to determine what this mystery wire is. It appears to be some sort of antenna wire but it's not plugged up to anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated...I've attached some pics. Thanks!

If the PO was into touring rally's they often want you to have a CB to check in with the control stations..
It could also have been for a ham or business radio.. I'd trace it to the other end.. See what's there..

I'm really surprised he hasn't done that already.
