Default Rear bumper

We're any Model As built with a full rear bumper. The '30 Sport Coupe I have has one but I thought the PO just added it. Then I saw a few more in Hellertown last week end.

My cabriolet might have been one of the ones you saw at Hellertown. I also thought the previous owner of my car put a front bumpers on the rear. I was told by a knowledgeable club member that some deluxe cars came with full rear bumpers. I have not looked this up in the judging standards to see where a full rear bumper is correct.

two cars came standard with the full length rear bumper
the A400 convertible sedan and the 180 a deluxe phaeton
in march of 1928 ford announced that full width bumpers could be ordered
for the rear of any car
but this was the middle of the depression ,and money was scarce

I had read that full bumpers were installed at dealers, I have two side mounts so I put one on and put the split bumpers on the CCPU.
