Mike Chirco just got in some good straight ones for the 1955-56 cars but not sure what he has for the earlier ones. It’s difficult to find them undamaged.

It looks great! I wish my 1954 Patrician looked even a quarter that nice.

What are the issues with your bumper? Did 54's still have bad chrome, or was that out of the system? I don't know how many hours this project took, but quite a few. Every project seems to take quite a bit of time.

Actually the chrome isn't bad. It's the rest of it! I call it my Packard of Many Colors.

I see, so your car is in need of a paint job?? Is your car's name Joseph?
 I don't know that I've seen your car, post a picture for us.

There are many photos on my blog linked below but here is another. It’s partially apart at the moment on its way to get a body swap but it is not so far apart as to not be driveable. I keep it parked under the lift on which the 1951 Henney-Packard is parked so whenever I’m at my shop working on the 1951, I have to move it outside where it occasionally gets snowed on. It actually looked the same decades ago when it was an everyday car except that it had its wheelcovers, hood ornament and parking light lenses installed then! I’m not sure why no lenses now or where they went but I have a new pair anyway.

Bumper project turned out nice. Definitely worth the effort. Do you have a link to the seal you got from Amazon? Mine has no seals and it definitely rattles. I don't really want to spend $80 on something from Steele.

If there is a rattle I would think it is something else as even without the seal the filler panel shouldn't touch the bumper. The rear bumper turned out so well that now I want to do the front bumper! Baby steps! 😄
