If it were an Avanti...

Looks like you are going to find what you need... those original delete plates are really neat!

Mine went missing before I bought the car, and since I had to rebuild the instrument cluster area of my dash anyway, I custom made a delete plate:



I always intended to put some of the Xtra accessory switchs in the blanks where the channel select buttons were to have been, but never got around to it. Hope you find a slick original, but if'n ya don't, here's an option for you to consider.

Thats pretty nice, what are the 2 knobs for if it's a delete plate?

I have one in my 54 Conestoga, looks like the 53 plate shown minus the tri-star. It is pitted, which is weird because very little of the exterior chrome is pitted. I took a picture of it the other night, but the flash spoils it. Then forgot to go back in daylight. I do not plan to use mine, let me know if you would like to have it. Taking it out would give me good reason to clear the black widows out of the car.

Here's the 53. The 54 looks the same except no tri star.

Thanks for all of your responses, and offers. I have decided to make my own delete plate using the original Stude radio faceplate. My faceplate has no push-buttons, instead it has a series of horizontal lines surrounding written script 'Studebaker'. I figure this has got to be better than staring at R A D I O buttons when there is no radio. I hope it turns out well. I'll post a photo when I'm done. Thanks for the inspiration Studedude. Junior
