has anyone bought the one piece bumpers from National Chevy or Chevs of the 40's? I'm trying to find out how they hold up.

Arnie, Wish you could dig up the name of the place. Maybe I will do a search on your name and look for some old posts.

A friend of mine bought some for his 51 from Chevs of the 40's. They fit just fine and look good.Don't know how they will hold up yet.

I bought one a few years back from Restoration World in Huber Heights, Ohio ( outside of Dayton) and I like it. I was actually in Dayton at the time and I went by and picked it up. Really nice people and I was told that he actually supplies the other guys...

How long have you had them and how have they held up?

I only picked up one but it held up great since I haven't installed it yet.I've had it probably going on four years. Pretty sure what they were saying is true. All of the repros are coming from the same place

Mine came from Restoration in Dayton, as well. That was 5 years ago and they are still in the box. Look nice, though.

Arnie, is this the company you got your from? How long had you had them on your car and do you feel they were of good quality?

no bill this is not the guy.i never got any thing back from the guy i sold my car to...i think some of the guys here with 53/54 got bumpers from the ebay guy i got mine from so they may have company name and phone #...every one out there selling 1949 to 1954 are the same ones from china. mine i had 2 yrs. was out side under open car port also. i give them a very high mark and the chrome is close to show quility. the ony differce is price going from $325.00 up to $375.00......P.S BILL I'AM BAD WITH NAMES THE MEMBER WITH THE 52 CONVER.LIGHT GREEN/BROWN CONVT. TOP YOU DID SOME COLOR CHANG PHOTOS SO HE COULD SEE HIS CAR WITH DIFFERENT COLOR TOP... WITH WHITE INTERIOR WITH 65 CHEVY BUCKET SEATS FROM I THINK CONN. I THINK HE GOT HIS FROM SAME GUY AS ME
