I wouldn't say that the rear-end treatment for the '55 Clipper was bastardized so much as it was a clear evolution of the '54 model.
Not a very good choice of words on my part, Brian, and not a reflection of my opinion. I just wanted to pass along a sort of "popular opinion" from the time, and maybe still. I've read and heard hear and there that many have questioned if the change was any improvement. It was said that the decision to change the '54 bumper on the '55 was based on the opinion of some at the time that the '54 wasn't "massive" enough to counterbalance the new front end look. Again, only something I've read, never seen em side by side. To me, I'd see no reason to switch anything around except for a temporary experiment--no cutting or welding.
