Body / Glass: Metal Panel indentification

[studeillac1952]

I have a weird question. Cleaning out my trunk of all the extra little parts and pieces that i have and was wondering if anybody would know what this panel is? I don't know if its even Studebaker related. I've scoured my manuals and literature but couldn't find anything that looked remotely similar. Thanks in advance...

Is it the splash shield for the clutch and brake pedals?

That's what i was thinking RadioRoy. Mounts on the frame under the starter.

Looks like the cover mounted on the seat frame over the Climatizer heater core on my '52.

That’s what I thought of immediately, the deflector over the under the seat heater on passenger side. That’s what my 50 Champ has.

I don't believe it is either of those; but I know I've had that piece in and out of at least one of the '51, '52 or '53s I've restored over the years, and I believe it goes under the car but my brain is in a fog, as that last project was fifteen years ago.

Hang on to it, Brad. Someone here will know where it goes and what purpose it serves. I am pretty certain it fits your '52.

Best pic I could find.
