Hi Guys, I've just taken delivery of a 66 Coupe that was in mid restoration. A lot of parts are missing, but I found these in the glove box. Can any one identify what they are and where they go?
Appreciate any help!

The larger one on the upper-right looks like a Beetle part. Maybe a slider for controlling airflow at the front heater outlets No clue about the other one...

The upper right piece is used to control the heat output on the front floor vents. I don't know if it is a Ghia specific piece or not, but beetles used a similar part. The two bottom pieces look like Chevy side trim clips or other American brand, I don't think they are for a Ghia.

The two lower pieces look like exterior chrome trim clips that we have used on Mustang restorations.
