What is this?

This ended up in the shop, it appears to attach to the rear bumper of a 40ish chevy, some type of a spare tire carrier?....

 

It looks like a "flip down" rear bumper guard for a 1937ish Chevrolet. Good item. It flips down in order to open the trunk. Big bucks.

 

I agree. A flip down guard to protect the trunk. It would fold so you could open the trunk.

 

this forum is amazing, thanks fella's......but could it be a 40-41 accessory?

 

anybody real sure what year chevy?

 

Yes its 40-41 I don't know how to tell the difference but definitely 40-41 Chevy trunk guard.

 

thank you.......Vic

 

I have one of those too! Good to know what it fits.
