Unknown Part. Amaze me!!
 
Probably Porsche related; came with a load of other parts purchased together which were strictly Porsche, mostly early 911. Other than that, I know nothing about these:

edit: tape measure is up in air, not an inch forward. They measure out around 13".

I think they go on the trailing edge of the door frame...as seen in this picture....

Scott is right. Those are the rear, vertical wind deflectors for early brass/chrome window frames (pre-68) coupes and maybe even later targas. Later frames were aluminum and the flared deflector was part of the vertical frame rather than screwed in like the earlier ones.

Edit: Just had a memory fart. Targas did not have the rear window frame. Those were from a coupe.

(Hey Scott, how's everything? Long time, no see!)

And I didn't even have to google that one.:cool:

I will take them out to check on the '68 . . . oh, wait. PRE 68. Does that mean they're chrome plated gold?

Edit: They are precisely the same height as my quarter windows. This forum never ceases to surprise me!! Wonder if they can be made to work on my car?

They are chrome plated brass (kinda a "gold color") and may be real "gold" for someone with a 67 and earlier coupe, but they will not work on your 68 which should have aluminum frames. BTW, your 68 frames are one-year-only in that they have the opening front vent window in an aluminum frame. 69 and later coupes had aluminum frames with a fixed vent.

Sometimes I amaze myself, I knew I had seen those before, had felt them even, but couldn't quite place them, 'till I looked at my pictures.

L.J. - things are going well, thanks. Hope all is well with you. Got a Porsche?
