Vintage Bumper For Ford? GM? Other?

[Ted L.]

I wound up with this bumper (one of a set of two?) and can not figure out what it's for.  All help, suggestions appreciated.\

 

Thanks,

Maybe a mid 20s Chrysler rear bumper?  

[Ted L.]

Wow, it sure looks close to me, thanks!  How did you come up with the probable answer, and a picture to boot?

 

Appreciate the help,  Ted

Well I am a older man who has loved cars and trucks all my life. I just knew it looked like the mid twenties and googled cars from that era and found it.  Age does have some advantages sometimes. The car was about 20 years old when I was born so a few were still around when I was growing up.

Not like the Chrysler bumpers shown above. The items in question have a rounded face on the and not flat. Possibly 1929 Durant rear....

See the small differences, the search will continue..........  I can see similar bumper ends just in front of the right hand front tire

 

Thanks for the help,

Keep searching in the 1920s. It may be hard to pin down the exact make but you have a time period to start. I knew the Chrysler was not an exact match and the Durant seems to have  ^  shaped marks cast into them that are not seen in your item. The search is half the fun!

I think those marks are reflections.

Thanks guys, I'll keep up the search and let you know what I find  (I'm thinking the marks are reflections too)

Same car....no ^^. You can see the upturned bracket  bolts at the frame.

[28 Chrysler]

Not Chrysler

The first photo is Chrysler's 1924 -26 type the second started in 1927

it looks very similar to the rear bumper on my 1928 Studebaker. I will have to check attachment to frame.

Great, thank you, appreciate the help

Looks like the 1928 Studebaker has "open ended" bars and not bolted on both ends.

Okay, so the search continues!  Thank you so much for your help, a possibility eliminated makes us closer to the right answer,

 

Thanks,
