Hi Folks,
Grew up in Northwest Indiana loving hot rods. Never really had the opportunity to own anything of my own, but a buddy of mine had a '65 Mustang that we would work on in his dad's service station after hours. A lot of late night blasts down straight county roads. Well life took me away from Indiana and the hot rod scene. 30 years, and 3 kids grown I find myself feeling the interest again. Been to several hot rod nights in New England and see some great stuff. I was talking with my neighbor about it and he turns up with this old bumper wanting to know what it's from. I guess it's been in the family garage forever. Any ideas?

Hello James and welcome!Bumper and the bracket looks a lot like mid-30s mopar front,those guards don`t look familiar though.Take a look at my profile and albums,there`s an example of 36 Dodge with bumpers.

Hi James, welcome from Rhode Island. I agree that bumper looks like a 36 Dodge, as a matter of fact it may well fit MINE! What does he want for it? You can check my album to see my projects, but the bumper on my 4-dr isn't correct, but the chrome was better than my stock one, so that's why it's on there. Bob

It's rusty but solid. My neighbor is away for the weekend. I should see him Monday.
