BTW - not to omit the fact that 1/4w vertical with ground planes set at a ~45 degree angle brings it back to ~50 ohms.

But this post is about a mobile install; there are lots of things that can influence its impedance if the length is resonant but the surroundings of the install affects the capacative or inductive reactance - or both. No doubt that it is the install that needs to be dealt with.
