JO-HAN '62 Chysler 300 rear bumper?:

The dashboard has "PLY" cast into the backside, so again pretty sure it's JO-HAN, but not sure of model nor year:

 

AMT 1961 Comet rear bumper?:

I'm 99% certain the bumper is a '62 Chrysler unit.  The 1:1 '61 Dodge actually used the same bumper, but with a single wide guard under the license plate.  

The dash is a '64 Plymouth Fury piece.  Jo-Han only made one Plymouth model (Fury) in those years.  It's definitely not '62, '63, or '65, has to be '64.

The other rear bumper is self-explanatory.  Not an easy piece to find; '61 Comets always seemed to be seen less often than '60 or '62.

Thanks, Mark...I didn't even notice the "COMET" lettering on it until your comment. :unsure: 

Any guess on this rear seat?:

Or this (I suspect AMT _______ Thunderbird) interior tub with the number 50 molded into the underside?: *edit* I think it's AMT '64 Thunderbird Hardtop:

The (rear) seat might be from the '64 Fury again.  It's either from a Plymouth or a Dodge.  '63 had the seats molded as part of the bucket, '65 was bigger (and Jo-Han didn't do a Dodge that year), so again we're looking at '64.  If you have a Jo-Han '64 Dodge, check against that; if the pattern is different then it's from a Plymouth.  The color looks similar to the dashboard.  The '64 Dodge was reissued a few times with the interior left unchanged, but only the annual Plymouths had the rear seat included.  Later issues were all as the Petty NASCAR, no rear seat needed for that.

Interior bucket is Thunderbird, could possibly be anything '64-'66.  I don't think earlier ones had the rear seat that wrapped around like that.  The '66 was reissued a bunch of times; if you have one of those, check against that to narrow it down.

Rear seat is the '64 Dodge, thanks.
