Thanks Mike!? That got me looking in the right era. It’s from the ‘31 Model A Sedan Kit. The two round pieces are the custom seat pedestals. Don’t know how they managed to get out of the box.?

It was first released in 1964 in this boxing, including all the alternate bits to build a woody. I think I was about 13 or 14 when I got my hands on one. But Revell's "fiddly" kits with lotsa operating features were really aimed at "young adults" at the time. 

Revell H1275 -- '31 Ford "Woody" or Tudor Sedan / 1964 Release 1:25

For proof of the intended market for most of the car kit makers in 1964, just watch this video about an issue of Rod & Custom magazine...which was aimed at adults.
