What year is this bumper?
Can anyone tell me what year Ford this bumper came from? I think itsa '40, but there's another guy who swears itsa '41. He took it off his '41.
I did a Google image search and see a lot of '41s with a smooth bumper like this, but I was assuming they were switched after the factory. I always figured the stock '41 came with a bumper with a small rib at the bottom. . |

Actually, There were two different Bumpers on the 41 Fords. The Deluxe models got the Smooth Bumper, while the Super Deluxe models got the Bumper with the Ridge down the bottom. Please refer to the above photos of each model. |

Re: What year is this bumper?
I wonder if the wings were an accessory. My Pop's old 41 11A Special didn't have the wings.

Wings are accessories.

Re: What year is this bumper?
The 2 ribs on the back of the 41 Special bumper are spaced quite a bit farther apart then the 2 on the back of the 40 bumpers. The outside looks the same but as Kube says, hole spacing is different.

He purchased the used 1941 Tudor after he got back in 1945 and used it for a few years to finish up his college education. Before he went overseas, he had an old 1935 Ford standard flat back tudor sedan that got him all over the US from Iowa to California then on to Texas and Florida. He sold it before his group flew there brand new B17Gs overseas to Tunisia, North Africa where they flew their first missions. They then went on to Foggia Italy where they based for the rest of the war. My Avatar was taken in Foggia right after they arrived there. Last edited by rotorwrench; 01-31-2017 at 09:56 AM. |
