Was the speaker cover material behind the screen the same material as the trunk cardboard?

Thanks! I had heard a couple of decades ago that the cardboard was the same texture as the trunk divider but left black and not painted trunk color. 'Can't remember where I heard it, though.

Mike, I dunno - that was a long time ago, and I don't have anything in my notes about it from back then.

The picture John posted of the 1957 speaker delete cover is the undisturbed original cover in E57S00775. Car in my Avatar.

The last time I looked I did not notice a manufacturer mark. I suspect there may be a mark on the other side facing the speaker grill but I have no intention of disturbing the cover to find out.

Roger Brower in Portland makes a good reproduction and as I recall he can stamp the mark on either side.

Anyone have a picture of a 58-59 speaker cardboard? Does Roger Brower make them for 58-59 and anyone have his phone # or email address? Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the 58/59 speaker block off. I think he makes that too.

John and Joe, thanks for the pics.!

• It appears the back side, the side we seein the pics., is smooth cardboard. Correct?

• Also, do you know if the side facing the grills is also smooth or is it possibly the grained finish as on the trunk cardboard? I would assume smooth but assuming always gets me in trouble.
