    I do have a pair of these 1935 Graham front bumpers which I hope to use on my '34 Ford someday. Never saw them used on a different car though.

    I used '49-'50 Chevy bumpers on my '52 DeSoto wagon (I consider it a mild custom) because they're simple, and much less cluttered looking than the huge stock ones. Chevy license guards too. 47A9EE42-7CD8-4100-8239-D3BFBEE28C8D.jpeg 19E18C11-3BF5-4E21-8488-52E77157EDEE.jpeg

  11. Few more '36s. Seems like you can put anything on a '36 and it'll look good!

    Just found 49 ribbed Plymouth bumper today. Rough, but repairable. Plan on putting on front of the 48 DeSoto.

    If you are referring to the aluminum "Briz" bumpers then the answer would be no.

    40 what? Love the bumper, the grill, and the headlight rings. Really kOOl car.
    I believe the bumper I have has been cut on each end, not going to be enough on the ends that I am gonna want. Just got the car back yesterday from paint. Gonna give the bumper a trial look at today, hopefully.

    When I hear 40, Ford automatically comes to mind. That grille (Cadillac?) is what threw me off
