  I found these in the trunk of my 63 parts car.
I think, but not sure, that the brackets are for a power steering pump, but what year?

And the road draft tubes, no idea! When did Cadillac stop using draft tubes?
Are these even Cadillac?

Color suggests they are Cadillac, look more like 1962 or earlier.

They are suggestive of PS brackets. Clay/Lexi

 So they did use them up to that point?
 I've got to check the color on them, the light was fading when I took the picture.
 Thanks,

 :)   Sorry, I was referring to the power steering pump brackets.  Dunno about the draft tubes.

Hard to tell in photo but some look a lot like the draft tube in my '56 365. Mine has a bracket down near the end like the one in the photo, but often the weld breaks and the bracket detaches. As far as I know they should be Cadillac blue. Clay/Lexi

Think I got pics of mine if you want me to search and post to perhaps ID yours? Clay/Lexi

 Yes, that would certainly help. Thanks,

Now, "splain this, I put the draft tube picture in the first post, but the file is in post 3.  :(

Looks exactly like the power steering bracket from my 61 390.

Should be the same as 62. Don't know about 60

 Thank you, that makes sense since the guy I got them from also had a 61 or 62 convertible.
 I appreciate your input.

That PS bracket is the same on both my 61 and 62. The draft tubes went away with the PVC system I think in 63.

Draft tube. Thanks for reminding me Caddyholic. I got to look for my spare draft tube and get a shot for Rick. Clay/Lexi

  That's good to know, so they fit at least 2 years. Thank you for identifying them.
 Now I can tag them so I don't have to figure this out again next year after my memory fails, but that's if I don't forget to tag them.
 What was I going to do?

At that point it won't be your problem.
