auburnseeker Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I have some NOS parts I have been going round and round in circles to identify. I have really good parts books as well as picture books. Even after hours of searching the web I am still stumped as to their application. The bumper guard I actually have a pair of and is really similar to that used on a 69 Dodge Dart but it's not quite right. Unfortunately that has no markings on the steel guard or even the rubber strip when you take it apart. The Ashtray is probably Mopar 1950's-1960s' but I can't narrow it down more. THe hood ornament may actually be a fender side ornament and the casting number would suggest it's GM late 1960's-early 1970's. The way it's made it looks like it fits in a longer, probably, stainless moulding. Any help would be appreciated. These parts are better on a car than my shelf.

Dave@Moon Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) I think the bumper guard is from an early 1970s Plymouth Cricket.

auburnseeker Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 They do resemble the rear guards on the wagon. The fronts looks a little chunkier at the bottom. I wish I could come up witha closer picture of one. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Not Cricket. More like 1966 or 1967 Dodge Coronet or Charger, I believe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Not Cricket. More like 1966 or 1967 Dodge Coronet or Charger, I believe...Not with that deep indentation on the back. Either the bumper these were meant to protect has a very heavy lip extending from it, or these guards were meant to hang below a very thin bumper like on the Cricket.

Dave@Moon Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Apparently they are not Cricket overriders. The rubber doesn't have the same texture as these NOS pieces on eBay/Australia: Hillman Avenger Plymouth Cricket NOS Bumper Overriders | eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 The thing I noticed with the 67 Dodge ones is they flare back out toward the bottom where these continue to taper. I appreciate the input, Any other ideas? They may not be Mopar. They were in a box with some ford Guards but there was also GM parts in there as well.
