Can someone tell me what the application is for these brackets and maybe what year? I do not see any part#s on them but I believe they came with a 1970 Formula I purchased years ago. Thanks. Dave

Lower valance mount brackets maybe?

Ditto. First thought was grille supports, but they appear to be slightly different.

A bodies had one, similar, for the rear valence.

These brackets are fairly light weight and probably not strong enough to support a valance. I thought they might be ram air pan supports for a formula early 2nd gen but just a guess.

I actually thought they were for the grille supports but brain farted valance... was hard to tell in the pics at first that they are just thin sheet metal but now i see it.

Pretty sure these are the ground strap for the rear license plate lamp, one per car, the lamp mounts to the fiberglass rear tail panel & needs a ground wire or strap to the metal body to work.
