Packard Bumper Guards?

[406mac]

Can anyone tell me what year these Packard Bumper Guards are for?  Front or rear?   Are the 3 holes decorative or are there parts that go between the 2 guards? Thanks for any help....Mac

I would say '40 or '41 120 front bumper guard.  There were 3 flat chrome bars that went into the holes and bridged the two upright guards together.     Rear guards would have had a fold down bracket to allow the trunk lid to open.             John

That's a Junior 1940 Packard. Bumpers are different on the juniors.

The guards are for a 1940  Super Eight 160 or 180.

Hmmm... I just realized that your bumper guards have 3 slots, vs 2 that I'm familiar with. Let me do some more checking.

Okay, my bad. 41 Sup8 was half correct. They are for 1940 JUNIOR cars, only.
