A year or two ago I was fortunate enough to have Mark (cdnpont) being willing to give up the radio delete plate from his 65. It was something I wanted to do on my 66 from the day I bought it. The radio always seemed to be out of place in such a plain jane car.
Now, my question. Since I was a GM dealer employee for 40 years, can I claim this as a dealer deleted accesory? Guys always have their documented cars with "dealer installed" options/accessories.
Not really sure what you are asking about the radio. On the base model car the radio would have been an extra cost option, not a deleted option. There were dealers near me in he 70s that rarely ordered a radio in a new base model vehicle. The reasoning was they would install an aftermarket radio for a customer because it would probably be cheaper than the factory installed radio. On many vehicles to get a radio installed on the assembly line it would be part of an option bundle, not just the radio.
Now that I get a good look at your radio delete plate, I might have one of those. Or at least have seen one recently, I wasn't sure what year it was for.

It would be the same for 65-66
