1940 cadillac 6227 coupe bumperettes needed for front and rear. I  have the 2 horizontal bars just need the 3 bumperettes for front and 2 in rear. Any leads appreciated.

From what I can make out Gary the centre one for the front was actually part of the horizontal bars and not a separate bumperette.     The whole thing optional as all cars didn't have them, maybe just the De Luxe?

Steve, you may be correct because the center bumperette is smaller and just supports the middle of the 2 parallel bars. This car had this originally and the sad part is the previous owner sent the bumperettes and bars out for plating and only got the bars back before the plater went out if business and the bumperettes never came back.

Just been through all this with my 41. Bill Hursch does a very good selection of Bedford Cords, Mohairs and Broadcloth.  Your car probably had wide ribbed material on the seats and plain Broadcloth everywhere else. I don't see the very wide ribbed material anywhere at his time.       I'm fairly sure there are no kits for the carpets or anything else.
