Can any one I D these bumper guards and hood ornament? They were bolted on my 54 car but don't fit right. The hood ornament may have been bolted to high on the hood,Don't ask why,but the bumper guards clearly do not fit my bumpers. Sorry I can't see how to post the Pix!
Hood ornament looks a lot like this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/1955-FORD-F...Parts_Accessories&hash=item27dc681c85&vxp=mtr They may have sanded down the rust pits on the wings and sprayed them black,I did that on my '54. Ford only used the bumper guards in 1954 that year only, the 52-53 Fords fronts interchange and 1952-54 rears interchange.The one on left looks like a rear the one on the right looks like a front,you might try Google images and search Fords by year.My '54 was a Friday closing time special the guards were installed on the wrong sides as evidenced by the wear grooves.Check out this picture: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/album.php?albumid=31586&pictureid=361384
It's hard to tell in the photo but they are both the same . And they don't fit the front or rear bumper on my 54? The contour is totally wrong? Both are re chromed and if I could positively ID them , I could sell them. The air plane is for a 55 car and has not been re- chrome but looks real nice. It's a 9 out of 10. I will follow that ebay list to see if his sells. I can't believe any one would pay $72 for that one? D
