1940 Packard 120 Club Coup - the restoration journey begins

It is time to finally get started working on this 1940 Packard 120 Club Coup. I pushed it into my garage this weekend. This is the Packard my parents had for over 20 years. The engine and brakes were rebuilt ten years ago. My parent’s friend was going to fix and paint the car but he gave up on it after several years of starting and stopping work on it. The body needs to be completely redone but fortunately it does not have major rust issues despite coming originally from near Philadelphia. Now it is my turn!

Looking forward to following your progress! I’ve had a number of 1940 Packards and still have quite a few small parts at my Oregon shop should you discover anything missing.

You all know how it goes trying to buy parts for your car right? You think you found the correct part, you talk to the seller and then you get the part and it isn't what you thought it should be.
I bought a nice rechromed rear Bumper intended for a 1940 Packard 120 Club Coup. But .... the bumper I bought is 4.75" wide x 66.5" long with nine holes in it (from each end to center the holes are 5.75" square, 10.75" round , 15.5" round, 18" square with a square middle hole of 34"). The original bumper on the car, that has a trunk rack, is 4.25" wide and 68" long with holes from each end at 7", 11" and 16"!
The seller assures me the bumper came off an all original 1940 Packard 120.
I don't see this shorter bumper wider bumper listed in Packard accessories for 1940.
It is definitely not a 1941 bumper.
Anyone have any ideas what this new bumper might go to?
