Is the restorer a Mennonite?  We have a lot of cars with black bumpers here in
Pennsylvania, driven by the Mennonites.  They are similar to the Amish, but will
use some modern conveniences, but nothing flashy.  I suspect this is a Mennonite
Sunbeam restoration job.  He probably stays away from Jags and other flashy 
cars,
and specializes in Rootes products.  You can spot a Mennonite restoration job by
the absence of the radio and ashtray.  Often the rear seat is removed to
accomodate bales of hay.

Hope this helps, Bill
