It looks like a tape measure to me.


The yellow color, the measurements.....

Yes, it's a tape measure for sure, don't know if it's a '69


You're welcome

I thought he was talking about the "other" part, it's brown with some fancy design on it----I think it's a chair, most people use it for sitting on but occasionally it's used as a ladder----hope this helps some.

Since the guys above already picked out the items that I can identify for sure, I'll take a guess at the black one.

It looks like an air dam part from the nose of the car. I'm not familiar with 69s but that looks a lot like one piece of my 73. Try centering it on the license plate mount and see if you can match up the bolt holes.

I do not recognize it. Have you looked through the AIM to see if it's there?

How about a pic of the other side of it? Is it metal? Plastic? Vinyl covered?

Boy, that one is not as obvious as other front end support pieces. I can't say where it mounts and by looking at the dimensions, it seems to "point" to the nose area of "a" car that may not be a C3. ?

Hi,
I believe it's part of the duct-work for the dryer fan on a 1994 model Maytag dishwasher.
