 Topic: Need help identifying this bumper
Posted: 29 Oct 2018 at 1:08am |
I found this bumper at my mother's farm and would like to sell it but I have no idea what it fits. Any chance any of you can identify it? Its in very good shape all considered; the chrome is very nice still and the couple places where it has tarnished I think it can be buffed out. I think the first picture is upside down, the second pic i rotated but it is hard to figure out. I'll try to get a better second pic. It looks close to a 1965 Cadillac but not exact, so Im thinking a GM product? Thanks.

Maybe it is for a 55 Chevy, and Desert Joe will be all over it so fast it'll make your head spin. Darrel

My thought  as well. But after a look  I don't think DJ will be putting it on his Chev,  but you never know. He may be tired of looking  and waiting .

Well,,it wishful thinkin that that big old thing will fit the 55,,,,but,,,,but,,,give me a pair of minutes, a 4 1/2" grinder and a mig welder and,,,,and I could whip up something ,,,,but it still gots too much chrome for ole Joe,,,me bein a somewhat frugal person,,,,,,,,,  Just for the record,,I think the second pic is right side up as the parkin lights would have that "hood" part of the bumper over them, and the both ends flaring forwards is a give-a-way,,,,I think it is a big car Pontiac,,,mid 60's to early 70's,,,,,,,,

Since license plates hang down from the mounting bolts, I think that the second picture is correct. And I thought Cadillac right off the bat.

I drove by an older Catalina last night and now I’ve changed my vote. My new guess is for a 70’s tornado before they were square.

looks like the right family of cars though. It is GM, so could be the pontiac, chevy, or olds version of the same vehicle. They made slight modifications to make them somewhat unique.
