Looks kinda, sorta like a tail light bracket.

I think that's an interior rear view mirror bracket, possibly for an open car but missing the clamps that hook to the two holes on the flat piece. The three curved clamps hold the glass (the single clamp is 180 degrees rotated out of adjustment in your pics). Not sure it's Model A, though, it looks different from those I've seen before.
