Default Re: How rare is a 69 Camaro Rosewood radio delete ???

I thought all 69 Camaros came standard with an AM radio umless it was 'deleted' from the order form.....but, maybe I'm wrong on this one...anyone???

An AM radio was never "standard". Any radio was optional/extra cost equipment. Most got it, but unless specifically ordered, you got the block off/delete plate, as well as a taped-in cardboard blackout cover that went under the dash where the speaker opening was, as well as a plastic plug in the door jamb where the antenna would normally pass through.

Because these cars were already set up for a radio, including a hole in the plastic dash housing with 2 separate circular openings for the volume and tune knobs (the cluster even has VOL and TUNE molded into it, which gets covered by the block off/delete plate) as well as a speaker grille in the metal dash, and hole for the antenna, IMO, calling it a "delete" plate is ok, even though it was indeed optional equipment to actually have the radio installed.

I stand corrected...Thanks Joe
