    Bumper differences by year???

    hi!

    Questions:

    * on the front bumper assemblies of 58-60, is the basic (outer) bumper the same on all 3 and only the grill different?

    * are the rear bumpers on all three years the same??

    If not, what (if anything) is common from year to year??

    I have only access to my own 58 and can only go by pictures, which don't show alot. The question is relevant to anyone needing to buy bumpers on Ebay or from a salvage yard.

    thanks!

    Front & rears will all interchange. Just the front bumper center grilles are different....

      Front Bumpers

      The answer is correct but there is one piece that differs for all three years. The smile bar/grill spacer or whatever it's called is the piece of filler chrome between the lower part of the bumper and the grill.
      The 58 and 60 are almost the same.

      Good Luck
