55 and 56 front bumpers are interchangeable, how about the 57? The 57 looks the same visually. thoughts?

I don't think the 55 & 56 bumpers are interchangeable because of the location of the "dagmars". The 1957 is for a Studebaker President body and has to be narrower.

Like I said above, neither are the 55 & 56. Although one could probably weld up the dagmar holes, clean up and and rechrome one or the other (55 or 56) to make it work, but why bother?
