m-mman Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Found these when cleaning up. Wracked my brain, they dont seem to be anything I am familiar with. (my own cars) Four retaining bolts on each, that's a serious attachment. One end is square, the other is slightly angled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Trucker Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 These pieces are very similar to both '60's Buick Riviera and '60's Ford Fairlane or Galaxie lower door/quarter panel or rocker trim. If there aren't part #s on the pieces, you'd need to compare them with a complete car ot search the net, year by year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drwatson Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Because of the studs with necessary back access, they might mount to the rear edge of a trunk lid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the length of 25" each, would make sense to be two parts to a trunk trim. Having a center trim cover with maybe a key lock hole??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Yeah, these were my thoughts too. no part or other numbers of course. ☹️ they are clean and not rusted so I don’t think they were near the road surface….. The four bolt mounting is “excessive” but maybe not if it was mounted to a door or trunk lid. And I have never had or been around any Riverias. I have had many 1964-66 Mercurys and they are similar but not correct. Strange, I’ll keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 My guess is they're the horizontal finish panels that attach to the rear bumper of a 1965 Lincoln on either side of the license plate. Those bolt on attachments are too heavy-duty for fastening a stainless moulding to a door, trunk, or rocker panel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 55er Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Since you're the Merc guy I was thinking it had something to do with FoMoCo in the sixties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
