What is this???

Today was the "grab the old stuff from the father-in-law's shop and decide what we can sell" day for me. He bought a shop that a guy had a lotta old parts in. Some of it's junk, but there are some goodies here and there. Could anyone give me some clues as to these Chevy peices? I have a speedometer cluster from what looks to be a 50's era Chevy (possibly a 57?) also along with tons of parts. Let me know.

(PS: Anyone wants to have a list of goodies, let me know . . . I'm going to post under the swap stuff area.)

The top piece I don't recognize, but the lagger piece MAY be off a 54 Chevy

I don't recognise the top piece either, but the lower one appears to be a trunk emblem off of a 55, and I think in 54 as well as previously posted. It defintitely is a trunk emblem with the finger indention.

The top one has the sweep of the '59 Chevy curved fins. I bet that's it...'59 trunk lock cover

I was sure the bottom one was a '55 Chevy: http://autohobbypage.com/show/00/hal/hal047.jpg
but its not a '54: http://autohobbypage.com/show/99/all/all198.jp
I didn't know about the top one, but I think Dr J is right about it being off a '59 trunk: http://autohobbypage.com/show/00/ark/ark131.jpg or http://autohobbypage.com/show/99/hay/hay002.jpg

Can you tell I had a little extra time at work today?

Would the top one be from a '59 or '60 wagon? Some of my previous parts cars ('58) had the larger chev emblem on the trunks of 6 cylinder cars.
