Full width with the outer camber of the original front 1950
bumper is 5 9/16", the reproduction from Classic Parts of
America is also 5 9/16". The width on both is 5 1/4" thru the
chord. The thickness is the same on both. The chrome on the
reproduction is triple chrome i.e., copper/nickle/chrome. The
only difference that I can find is the original bumper has all
of the edges rounded over, and the corners at the ends are
blended by rounding. The repro blank is burned out, formed and
goes right to the plating operation, the edges are not sanded
smooth, they are left sharp, and the corners at the ends are a
sharp angle. In other words all they would have had to do to
make the repo's an exact reproduction is to take a few minutes
to "Break all sharp edges" and round the corner a little.
