Next item SOme of these may seem pretty easy if you know the cars in that time period. But they are are all possible clues

Application(s) - _______________________________ (Application - What year/years and models was it used on?)

And while we're at this - How many can you see?

[ruppstang]

They are seat bolt access cover grommets, I see 6.

I think they were used 64 1/2 to at least 69.

Convertibles use six of these and two metal covers.

[CharlesTurner]

Convertibles use six of these and two metal covers.

65-66 convertibles use 8 just like coupes/fastbacks.

[tobkob]

I see 7 grommets.

[J_Speegle]

Good - we have 7 visible seat bolt access covers/plugs

ITEM #8




Item #8 - Identification - _____________________  (Identification - What is it?)
Application(s) - _______________________________ (Application - What year/years and models was it used on?)

There is a second group of the same type of items to the right. How many total do you see or believe there are in these two groups?

Now with #7 and #8 what does it tell us about the possible body style of the car in question? This would go along with the "Application" part above

[midlife]

Those look like seat rail to carpet protectors/brackets.

[ruppstang]

I agree they are seat carpet track protectors. They were use through 1967. They were built on the 68 tracks.

I think there are only 6 plugs the 7th one looks smaller.

[tim_morrison82]

i can see 4, but not sure if there is more under the pile with the number as there seems to be another piece of steel angled differently under the 2 you can see. if there is only 4 total, its a bench, other wise its bucket seats.

I think I can make out at least 5 or more, depends on how high they are stacked int he pile to the right.

If it was a bench seat car what would it tell us about the possible body style given the other clues so far?

[midlife]

If it was a bench seat, then it could only be a coupe or convertible.

[tim_morrison82]

If it was a bench seat, then it could only be a coupe or convertible.

if thats true, we rule out fastback, and we also rule out convertible - so bench seat = coupe in this instance.

however, 5 carpet track protectors? is it possible to use them as shims to level the seat out?

[J_Speegle]

If it was a bench seat, then it could only be a coupe or convertible.

In 65-67 your correct and that is where the clues seem to be heading. Just wanted to get that discussion covered to maximize the information we can glean from just a picture.

Since there are more than 4 plates/spacers and more than 4 seat nut access plugs that were removed we can guess it likely had front bucket seats and back again to either coupe or fastback again.
