Re: Front Bumpers?

What is that off of Atomsplitter? Looks like it's half 70 Camero and half Caddy.

Re: Front Bumpers?

That bumper's from about a '53 Cadillac.
Mine's from a '57 Caddy which is just a bit different, it has rubber nipples at the end of the bullets, the same nipples are on a '57 Chevy if your familiar with those.
It's all Cadillac, infact it's missing the bottom section that normally houses the turn signals and running lights. Fits the contour of the fenders and grill very close.

You may notice I use the word nippple alot....I have a fixation!

Re: Front Bumpers?

One of the guys over on the HAMB has this 58 fitted with a bumper from the same year Chevy passenger car. Subtle, but very cool in my opinion.

Re: Front Bumpers?

Atom.
I'm diggin that Caddy bumper on that Truck.
After Google'n around I'm thinking that's from a mid 50's Eldorado Caddy
and not from the Sedan Caddy
due to the Thinner outside Wing pieces.
the Sedan Caddy is a fat bumper but it still has the bullits.
Anyway , I WANT One for my 52 Truck project.
Thanks you just cost me anudder 500$$.

I was wondering if something like that would fit on my 58.
