Clois I think he means this:

No sarcasim at all I just didn't know. I really thought he was refering to a full horizontal bumper.
:confused: Clois |
Raceral,
Found a site in AU specifically concerning authenticity. I don't know how accurate the info is. Appears to be a CC member. http://users.pipeline.com.au/bryanw/...g_an_authe.htm "Bumpers + o/riders or Quick jacks 427SC Only the SC had quick lift jack points - note the direction of mounting. The S/C had no bumpers. Finish: same explanation as for the heat extractors. 427R Overriders and bumpers were fitted front and rear - same as AC289 AC289 Same as for the 427R." "Grille - air splitter 427S/C The S/C never had a grille or air splitter 427R There was no mesh covering the "mouth" but it did have an air splitter - same as AC289. AC289 Same as for the Roadster." Hope this helps, Jim |
when I had my cookout last week.. all the cars were lined up and a newbe to the crowed ask the question about the different style of bumpers... and we all just looked at each other and said "heck if we know"..... so, I just wanted to know....

Clois,
Sorry - can't always tell. Al, Great pictures in your albumn link! Jim |
These were an accesory marketed to protect the vulnerable leading edge of the radiator opening, and the area between the uprights on the rear of the car. I believe AMCO was the vendor. They also made softops and plastic side windows for the various varieties of convertables on the market in the 60's & 70's. They were very inexpensive at the time.
