Question: 1938-39 Chevrolet Bumper Guard I.D.

Hello

The attached pictures are bumper guards that were on my 1938 Chevy when I purchased it.

I have done a lot of searching on the internet to try to get more info on these. I have searched the H.A.M.B., Bomb forums, Lowrider forums, some sites for restorers, contacted Chevs of the 40's...I have yet to get a really good identification and description of what I have. I have found pieces similar to the front guard on ebay. I have not found one exactly like the fold down guard for sale, but I did find one pic of a Bomb running it on the front bumper (ha, no description in the caption though).

I was told by the previous owner that the rear fold down guard is a pretty rare, and it seems to be confirmed by my internet searches. Or maybe I have just confirmed that he is senile and I am bad at the internet.

So...I realize this isn't entirely on topic, but when all else fails...

THANKS! I know the answer is on its way.

 

i have 2 just like the rear one. i think there are a lot of them out there.

 

I suspect it's an accessory piece. Good luck with your search!

 

Probably is an accessory. When you list it for sale on ebay, list a lot of cars that it could fit, since it's not a 38 chevy part, specifically.

 

I have had a few 38 and 39 Chevs, but have never seen those pieces before. I wonder if it might be factory Chev accessory...........

 

Those are aftermarket accessories not GM/Chevy factory accessory.

 

Thanks for the replies. Bump, for the early birds!

 

Not a factory item for chevy .......

 

It's Lunch-O-Clock someplace...Bump!

 

They're still aftermarket bumper guards. here's the 1939 chevy accessory catalog page that shows what Chevy offered.
