I'd say that's for a 55 Chevy Bel-Air. The 150 & 210 had the painted dash.
Ya Clint, I just did some quick research, and I wasn't really that knowledgeable about '55 dashes. I wasn't a 100% sure about the differences, so I posted it as 210 and not Belair.
You persuaded me ... it is '55 Belair!

So this radio delete is strickly for the 55 Bel Air and I bet it is quite rare.
Yes, this is stricktly for a 55 Bel Air. I'd list it on ebay.
The 55 150 & 210 had a painted center portion of the dash, and a different radio delete. Same idea with 56 & 57. About 10 years ago I sold a couple 57 Bel Air radio delete plates on ebay, I think they went in the $100 range. I had some 57 150 & 210 radio delete plates but they didn't sell as well, and almost couldn't give away the 150/210 clock delete plates. I can't speak for 55 & 56, but all 57 Bel Air's had clocks as the Bel Air trim joins at the clock hole.

I've got a '58 Chevy radio block-off sitting around in my garage along with a pair of '58 Biscayne fender / door nameplates. I wonder if they are worth anything?
Probably not; the '58s don't have the tri-five following. I wouldn't mind a '58 though, just as long as it didn't have a Continental kit & stretched back bumper...
Back in '55 it is not hard to imagine the radio being left off the original order. Heck, when my '67 Chevelle was made, a fair number of cars built around mine were without radios. Oftentimes the dealer could leave the radio off, then sell whichever radio the customer wanted, be it a manual tune AM, a deluxe pushbutton AM, plus a rear antenna. In Canada on the Beaumonts & Chevelles that year the AM/FM was still a dealer option, not an assembly line option.

I think that deserves an "atta boy". It's higher than I would have thought, someone must have needed it.
A guy at a recent car show on PEI.
He has a '55 Belair drag car in the works, that has an aftermarket 1980s cassette deck in it right now.
