Looks like a delete plate of some sort. Anyone know what it's for?

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-30-2006, 05:18 PM

Can you get measurements? It looks like a louvered radio delete plate

sdkid · 12-30-2006, 05:20 PM

What are the dimensions of it? At first look I'd call it a radio delete from the '47-'54 era

Draggn66 · 12-30-2006, 05:25 PM

9 1/8" X 2 11/16"

Also it;s not perfectly flat. There is a very slight curve to it side to side.

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-30-2006, 05:33 PM

If it's curved then sdkid is probably right

Nope, those were simply flat pieces that filled the hole, almost making it flush with the dash.

1947-1953 Chevy radio delete plates are smaller. They only
cover where the center of the radio comes out, and two bolts
where the radio knobs would be.

1LoC10 · 12-31-2006, 08:33 AM

I think the radio delete in a volkswagon bug was louvered

Kid · 12-31-2006, 10:05 AM

don't know what it is, but it is not a radio delete plate for 47 to 54. I just installed one in my 51

larry may · 12-31-2006, 10:13 AM

Looks like a part out of the old buicks.Mabe the 1950s . Color reminds the older Buicks.my .02%

cushman350 · 12-31-2006, 10:56 AM

Air intake grill from a 1950 Fridgedaire....................( not )

73stepside · 12-31-2006, 12:00 PM

looks to be a cowl vent cover

I kinda was thinkin that too but it's solid....no holes for air flow

It was in a box of parts the PO of my 71 gave me. He didn't know what it was either. Hey maybe it's something so rare that it will finace my restore when I find a buyer!

Bishops Trucks · 12-31-2006, 02:09 PM

It's the part I've been looking for. It's a radio delete plate for a 1928 Winnebego. I'll give you $5600.00 because it needs to be repainted and the nuts are missing off the studs.

qksilver · 12-31-2006, 02:49 PM

I will double that offer, it was also used on the Nash Airflow convertible open road camper boat conversion, I have been trying to finish it's restore now for over 45 years

Draggn66 · 12-31-2006, 04:15 PM

Sounds like a museum piece to me.....whadya think?

72 CustomCamper · 12-31-2006, 05:43 PM

It almost looks like the fender vent for a "69 Nova...

larry may · 12-31-2006, 07:31 PM

Could have been from an appliance rather than automotive. Hmmmph! May know tomorrow.Hmmph!

Baer · 01-01-2007, 11:55 AM

Almost looks like a body moulding off an old Buick or Oldsmobile. Maybe there were multiple ones instead of just one? Other than that I have no clue

sdkid · 01-01-2007, 12:08 PM

Hang it on the garage wall...sooner or later someone will know the answer.

Draggn66 · 01-01-2007, 06:36 PM

Ok I found something else in my box-o-parts! Looks like it could be from an older truck? Any ideas on this one?

**clay68c10** · 01-01-2007, 10:59 PM

The louvered part----cooling fins for a flux capacitor...

The heater controls actually do look similar to Willys wagon/truck stuff from the 50's.
