It looks like what Cadillac calls a "Radio Opening Cover", which is the plate which covers the holes in the dash when a car doesn't have a radio.  Radios were an extra cost option until at least 1955.

My Master Parts List covers the year 1935-1955.  It lists these covers, with progressively higher part numbers, until  '55 when the part number is 1461130.  The one you have must be for a later year.
