Radio block off plate 68-72 Nova

[92646]

I have seen a couple of different styles of radio delete plates on the 1968 thru 1972 Novas recently. I remember I used to get them up north from wrecking yards for 1968 thru 1970 Novas that looked like the 1969 Camaro radio delete plates. PG&E used to buy fleets of these cars for their meeter readers and they were strippers with no radios. But now I have seen several cars with no provisions for a radio at all and Nova in raised letters across that area. Is there a right one for all Novas or could it have been different based off of some option if the dealer was going to install the radio? Mark Sheppard

If it came from the factory, they most likely had the bezel with the radio area molded completely closed. 69-72 said "Nova" in that area.

If it had a block-off plate, like for a fleet, it's possible the radio might have been removed by a dealer or something like that.

The one we have in our 69 is molded into the bezel and does say nova in the radio area.
