      Yes, that is correct. The extension plate was only installed on the driver's side.

        I have 1953 #201 here now
        FYI - the extension is riveted to the dash and the hood pull is screwed to the plate with philips headed screws
        If you need a photo - let me know
        I am going to tear this car down this week - so I will be taking alot of documentation photos
        Thanks
        Chris

          Thanks Chris. That's what I would expect to find.
          Only thing left to do is determine if very early 53s did not come with the riveted extension plate. Checking on car #18 now.
