Offered for sale is a genuine New Old Stock (NOS) Chevrolet Rear License Plate Pocket Panel, part numbers 20473325 and 20124623, designed for 1980, 1981, and 1982 Chevrolet Chevette applications. This original GM body panel is a rare and highly desirable restoration component for owners, collectors, and enthusiasts seeking authentic factory sheet metal for one of Chevrolet’s most recognizable compact cars.

The Chevrolet Chevette played a significant role in Chevrolet’s lineup during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Known for its fuel efficiency, affordability, practicality, and dependable operation, the Chevette became one of the best-selling subcompact cars of its era. Millions of drivers relied on these vehicles for everyday transportation, making the Chevette an important part of American automotive history.

Today, surviving Chevrolet Chevettes are becoming increasingly collectible as enthusiasts preserve examples of this iconic compact platform. As original GM replacement panels become harder to locate, authentic NOS sheet metal components have become highly sought after within the restoration community.

The rear license plate pocket panel is an important structural and cosmetic component located at the rear of the vehicle. It surrounds and supports the license plate mounting area while contributing to the overall appearance and integrity of the rear body assembly. Because of its location, this panel is particularly susceptible to corrosion, road debris damage, minor collisions, moisture retention, and general deterioration over time.

Many Chevrolet Chevette restoration projects require replacement of the rear license plate pocket panel due to rust or accident damage. Genuine NOS panels offer the ideal solution by providing original factory dimensions, contours, mounting points, and fitment characteristics that are often difficult to duplicate with repair sections or reproduction components.

This panel was manufactured by General Motors and remained unused in inventory. Unlike used parts, it has never been installed on a vehicle. As a result, it provides the authenticity and quality expected by serious restorers seeking factory-correct body components.
