Mystery 30's front bumper

[DFeeney]

 Can you help me identify the mystery front bumper? It  has a 3 3/4" face.  The distance between the vertical bolts at each end is 64 3/8".  The over riders are 10 1/4 " x 3 1/2".  It is very straight .  Can anyone use it?   Don in central Ohio  740-816-4284

Looks like a '32 Chevy front bumper that someone has modified by adding the four (homemade?) bumper guards and cutting the mounting bar.  Photo attached.

Thanks for the information.  I would like to see this bumper back on a car.  I will post on the Chevy page.

Are the bumper guards a generic after market type or were they made for the 32 Chevy? I would think they were made specifically for them since that contour is somewhat unique, although there's probably other bumpers they will fit good.

This is the closest thing I could find to them so far, but no name or indication who the maker was.

Neat setting and backdrop for that nice 5 window.

Thanks.....  I think the bumper guards are an aftermarket "universal" item.  They're definitely not a genuine Chevrolet accessory.

 

There is also a possibility that the bumper itself is something other than Chevy.  Some other makes were also using a single-bar convex faced bumper in the early '30s.  That said, it does look pretty much identical to the ones on my '32 Chevys.

I believe the bumper guards are after market and universal.
