You should have a similar piece. It's purpose is to direct air flow to the radiator.

I believe it is just a cover for the junction block and wires behind it. The block contains your headlight bucket and horn wires and maybe some more

I do not believe the p15s have a similar piece.

Mine does. The P-15 radiator sets up closer to the front fender support brace,and doesn't need a piece that large.

Here is mine. The whole upper radiator is exposed along with the horns.

Young Ed,I guess mine was a poor example to use. It has a 78 Camaro frame clip and the (stock) radiator even sits lower. I have two other P-15 parts cars,but the coupe has no chassis in front of the firewall,and the sedan has no engine or trans.

My '49 Chrysler has the shroud. The center hole has a cover too. Now nice and shiny repaint. Better than looking in the big hole.

My '48 does no have one.
