The delete plates are left over because radios were a dealer installed option, I'm sure they had a stack of delete plates left over from when they were selling Panteras back in 1971 - 1974.
Just adding to what Larry wrote, Mike Mayberry operates Mayberry L/M, owns 2 Panteras himself, is active with the Foothill Panteras, opens his repair bay on weekends to a certain very tall Pantera racer and allows him to work on his race car there, etc, etc.
He reads the PIBB and occasionally posts under the name KING. Eh Mike?
I purchased my Pantera at Mayberry Lincoln Mercury.
