Very much of an add on appearance. Lots of Powerglides (or Pow-r-Flows?) on Chevys had this type of shift indicator. It was plexiglas with side metal on my folks' '60 Bel Air, '64 Impala, and '66 Chevelle 300 Deluxe (all Powerglide of course). 
 
Here is a shot of a '60 Bel Air for example...  however the B-O-P's and Cadillacs had their indicators in the dash. I suppose when the interiors were styled, those GM vehicles that would have a huge chunk of manuals produced got the add-on shift indicators (?)

 Maybe it's not broken then anyway. Thanks.
