Still hunting a bumper for my 1937 Series 60 coupe.  Any leads would be appreciated.

Are you looking for a core to be plated or a bolt on and go bumper? Email me at : olds34dudeemail addresses not permitted or text @ 813-453-8962 if it's the former and I'll send pics. Dave

I just saw the photos. And they certainly look like the one(s) I need-- and with your measurements they seem correct for my car.  The rust is not a big deal, re-chrome work is expensive but the chrome shop I go to always tells me it really doesn't matter how bad they are rusted so long as they are straight (undamaged)  What would you want for the pair of them?  Sadly, as a side note I got a nice re-chromed bumper with the car when I bought it only to find that it is too flat across the face and the bracket holes were different.  Thus began the long journey of finding bumpers but never the correct one for my car.  As I mentioned, to date I have found 3 different ones for 1937 Cadillac--- all look the same but the bolt spacing, profile and length all differ.

Thanks for the effort, ken

Ken, do you have the correct measurements for these bumpers? if not I could compare the measurements from Davids bumpers to the ones on my 60 series if need be.
