again any idea of cost or availability ? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 637 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 637 | The alloy bumpers with 5 ribs are reproductions of 1937 DeSoto bumpers. They were an often used custom touch back in the '40's and '50's. I rode to college every day with a guy that had them (real ones - steel that is) on his 1941 Chev club coupe, they looked good too. | | |
