Looks like they would be filler pieces for each side of a radiator to keep air from going around the radiator. But I don't know what year or model.

They do look like that, but I kind of remember them being bolted to the trunk or passenger compartment floor area, maybe protecting wiring? I don't know, it was a long time ago.

If the car has reverse lights in the bumper, they could be shielding in that area. I vaguely remember those on my '65 when I had the rear bumper off. I could be wrong....been years.

I must be wrong about them being from a 65.
