Do their exist a list with pictures of all the rear bumper brackets used on the Model A?
I have one with a stamped "C" in it and have searched for a right side piece. I bought one and found out that it is different in one point and has a stamped "F" in it.
Would like to get the correct right side one for my 1930 Coupe. The one with the stamped "C" came original with the car.
Thanks for your help, Alex

From what iv read out of my model a book the only thing i can come up with are the different body styles possibly having different brackets. another possibility is the levels of trim they had. they didn't have any pictures and i havent been able to find any on the web. im not an expert haha but i hope this helps

There were multiple suppliers of ALL versions of bumper arms. I don't know who "C" represents or others like "U" which is the most common on the west coast of the U.S., While "C" is common in our mid-west.

There were at least seven different BASIC types of rear bumper arms for the various body types. None have markings to identify application.

Marco, that is great info, so my right side bracket must be for a 28/29 Coupe or Roadster, but I would need the bracket for a early 30 Coupe to match my other one.
You have a great knowledge of Model As. Wow, I'm really impressed.
Thank you so much for your help on my question.
