Could it be a door ajar switch for an overhead console car? I dunno. :)

Does it move/swivel, or is it fixed?

I,ve seen those on factory original cars, don't know what they're called but
they were plastic or rubber coated new, but after a few years that would crack
and peel off leaving only the metal bracket itself. Will keep my eyes open for
replacements.  Jeff

 I've got those on my 72 Challenger, and it's driving me crazy, because it's all bent up and down to bare metal, and makes a squeaky sound if I don't have the window up very tight. I'd really like to find some repos of these as well.

That is a piece to align the window.  At higher speeds the cabin kinda builds up a pressure and it pushes the window, if you had your window open and tried to crank it up it would miss the seal.  That's just a guess, my dad says his 71' Monte Carlo had them on it and that was their purpose to GM.
