The two holes on the glove box door would have been where the original owner's special brass or brushed stainless plate was affixed. Two studs on the back of the plate held it in specially-drilled holes and were retained on the back site by Tinnerman nuts. Not all Caribbeans had this plate unless it was ordered by the original owner using a form supplied with the car.
The plate stated as follows:
This Custom Built Caribbean
Made Specially For
(Name of owner)
Studebaker-Packard Corporation
Usually when the original owner sold the car or traded it, they removed the plate and kept it.
