Do you know what these parts are from?

I came across a couple of parts laying in a parts car of mine and have been wondering if they are Thunderbird related... I have taken a photo of the parts and uploaded them to my website....

Could you please have a look at the above link. I am hoping that someone can help me ID these two items.

thank you

Tim, I do not know the parts, but this is what I would do. If you are familiar with Ford's parts numbering system, look for a number that starts with something like C3OE- The first letter is decade, C=60's, D=70's. Next digit is year, in this case 1963. Next digit is car Thunderbird, Mercury, lincoln, etc. Last digit is type of part, E=engine. I think you have a taillight surround for a '61 to '63 T-bird but I'm not sure. Can't be more help on above codes, my books are not with me, just a place for you to start. The first 4 digits of a part number let you know where to start looking. Good Luck, Charles
