What are they ?
I ran into these things again while cleaning up and putting away newly arrived parts !
These were in my car when I got it and I still have no clue !
Anybody know if they go to a Vette or are they just something that got shoved into it and forgotten about while it sat in the body shop for 5 years?
Thanks in advance!

My car was missing so much stuff it left me no clue of what did or didn't belong ! I like the wheel chocks idea !
I won't toss em just yet !
Like DG said I'll probably find something they can do !
Maybe that's why I'm out of room in my shop !

Looks like protective corners for shipping a radiator.

Ok , just tried that but not wide enough to go on the radiator of my 77 !
Thought I'd show the backside of these because they have a definitive shape as well and they are hollow although for the life of me I couldn't say why !
Seems like fun anyway !
Anyone else want to take a guess ? It's three tries for a quarter!

How about the containers that gas station sandwiches are packed in?
Seriously, my first real guess was radiator packing corners.
Most likely corner protectors for shipping something flat and square/rectangular.

I'm thinking that they are some kind of packing protectors for 90 degree corners, also. Being hollow, they would have some ability to absorb high loads by crushing while still preventing direct contact with whatever they protect.
