[Spridgets] Strange front bumper

[type79 at ix.netcom.com]

Chris,

Some might guess that's a prototype bumper from an early Edsel design but it isn't. It is a Spridget bumper that an enterprising owner who lacking a pair of overriders decided to split the difference and mount the only one he did have in the center.

Personally I think it's beautiful and would restore it and install it as is.

Incredible find.

Good Luck,
