Hi,
Nice! HF. Not many folks have seen them. They sorta disappeared from cars they were originally were on.
Here it is in place
I 'believe' it's intent was to conceal one of the cowl braces that was added to help control cowl 'shake' on convertibles.
Regards,
Alan

Hi 69,
I see them on the bay quite regularly.
You could wait for the color you need or buy one and dye it.

Alan
