Default Mystery parts! Can anyine help identify these trim pieces?

I got these with my '69 vert, not sure where they go. I'm sure some of them don't belong to my car but i'm not positive. Can any one tell what they came from?

















They were in a box, I didn't take any of the parts off the car.

The bottom looks like some kind of grill or hood trim.

The last looks like the shape of a C3 door handle. Not sure what it is though.

The last piece is "License Plate Trim Ring" Not sure what model it went on though. At least from the picture it looks big enough as compared to the emblem that is in the 2nd to last picture.

I thought that too, but it's just a hair too small to go around a license plate. Not for my '69 though huh?

The badges that look like a C2 nose emblem are flat, and the C2 nose is round...

The white round emblem appears to be a hood emblem from a 1956-57 corvette. The C2 cars have one that is similar for the gas cap, but the script for the word "corvette" is different.

They appear to be side fender emblems for '64 to '67 impalas. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!


Now to identify that trim ring...

"Corral" for a '65-'66 Mustang grille?
