1937-115C bumpers

Posted by BobG On 2011/1/19 20:34:27

I was told by a Packard expert, that he thought the bumpers on my 1937-115C 4door sedan were reversed - front bumper on back, back on front. I looked up the bumpers in the parts catalog but they don't say which one is longer. So, does anyone know if the front or rear bumper is longer. It appears one is about 2" longer then the other. The mounting holes are the exact same distance apart so that doesn't help.

Also, is there more space between the front bumper and the car body or the rear bumper and the car body? I am now not sure if the mounting brackets are also reversed?

Thanks for your assistance,
Bob
