A Rear Bumpers

#1 Post by randall hancock »

Have 57 Coupe ch 101475 with missing bumpers and trying to determine if rear bumper had exhaust or not. COA gives completion date 8/19/1957 which I think is near the date they change to bumpers with the cut out

does the body have cutouts for the exhaust pipes? If no, then no. if yes, then yes :).

I think by your VIN it does not have them. I believe they were introduced at 101693

Thanks Jules, no cutouts, also was looking for dimensions for bumper mounts on chassis to make a jig to hold bumper brackets in place to aid in restoring the bumpers I have.
