Good Morning,
I'm trying to sort details on my new to me March '55 sedan.
Are the bumper overrider support tubes different than the later (8/55) cars?
Mine are too short to reach the bumper bracket mounting holes by about an inch.
Thanks |

Post up some pics, they should be the same. Have your aprons been pushed in.
It would be visible for any past collisions.

good points - I am surprised that your 3/55 has those ugly ram-protection over riders - every 3/55 I've ever seen, had beautiful small Euro guards and no towel bars - z
here's our 3/55 with Euro bumpers...

are you perhaps getting front and rear brackets mixed up?
i dont have any personally to compare but looking online theyre sold separately so i assume theyre different lengths. |
