I’ll bet it was originally drilled for one of the typical dealer installed antennas of the era. Here’s a pic of mine on the passenger side apron. I’m still running it.

I would make/buy/fit a rubber or plastic plug into that oblong hole that mates up to the antenna and hides the oversize hole in the background. You might be able to use a grommet, although the UV would be hard on rubber like that. Troll the grommet/plug area at Ace Hardware and maybe something will jump out at you that could be made to work.
