72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 While perusing the Internet I came across an Ad offering a 72 Monte Carlo. While looking over pic's, I noticed there was no radio and was covered with a Delete Plate? Never seen one before! Was this a factory option?

Canuck Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Yes there was a radio delete plate. Very rare! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 As stated above by Aaron, yes that was an actual thing. I have seen only one or two others but I don't remember if the corners were squared off like that or rounded. I do think a number of years ago a member made one on their own but I'm old and don't remember who that was. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It was me. Carl Hanson. Sent it to Kevin our first president. I think Jared ended up with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bell Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It's interesting that both cars shown here have no AC. My brother would call these stripper cars "the poverty model". The radio delete plate was a Chevelle delete plate with a wrap on it. I envision the wrap like shelf liner with a sticky side. It looks to match the dash exactly. Too bad that material can't be bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 When I made that plate that I sent to Kevin I had just enough to cover the plate. The elm burl came in a 6” roll. I tried to get more but it was discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Ha the Monte with the cover is (WAS) mine I just sold the car after 27 years. Yes it was a factory plate this car never had a radio. I considered it once then thought I wont hear the BB402! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
