Few questions, I hope someone knows the answers....
OK, I have a 55 210 2 door sedan. I changed the side spears to Bel Air hardtop pieces (longer door points). I want to change out the upper paint dividers, and I really like the look of the 56 pieces. Will they work on a 55?
I also want to run a Nomad/Wagon rear bumper. Can I simply change the center section and reuse the bumper guards and end pieces? I know the tag lights won't illuminate the tag when it's on the bumper, but I can fix that with lighted bolts or something.
Thanks!!

Not sure about the paint divider or the bumper ends, but if you get Nomad bumper guards, they will have the tag lights in them. I've seen lots of Nomad bumpers with the guards on passenger cars. The guards and bumper are the same as any '55 wagon.

Well, I'm trying to do this as inexpensively as possible, and the nomad/wagon guards are more than the center bumper section. I'll probably switch them out later, but for now I'm going to try and use the sedan guards.

The bumper pieces are interchangeable for installation. The ends are the same.
I doubt the 56 paint divider fits. The only one that would have a chance is a 56 210.

Thanks, I'll probably pick up the wagon center section for now.
I may contact Danchuk or somebody to see if they can give me some measurements. I love those raised ridges in the 56 dividers.
