I have a front bumper for my 1931 Independence but it is bent out of shape and I am not able to bend it back enough to be suitable for use and hoping to find someone out here that might have a spare laying around. It doesn't need to have a perfect finish, not worried about rust or chrome issues, it just needs to be straight and usable. I can refinish. I am in Portland, Oregon.
So you might need to clarify things a little bit more. Early '31 had a two bar smooth bumper and there might have been a difference between models for the rear bumper. The "Delux" model with the side mounted spares may have had a full bumper in the rear. The standard cars with the spare in the back would have had "bumperettes" to fit around the spare tire. Late '31 had a single bar bumper that would have had the same limitations as above. I believe it is the same as the '32 bumper.
Looking mostly for the front, not so much the rear as I have a trunk mount in back. I don't really care if it is a double bar (standard) up front or the single bar (deluxe). Just need something as long as it is straight and not bent up... already have one of those.
Can you post a photo of what you have? I am guessing the mounting brackets are different between single and double and it would look better if front and rear matched. Depending on how bad your bumper is bent I think a spring shop may be able to straighten it.
I do have a single bar front bumper that may be better than what you have but it is not perfect and does have some slight bend. My parts price list (aka parts book) shows all parts for a single bar different than the dual face bar bumper .

There is no private message icon flashing and nothing showing in my PM's. You can contact me direct at parlin1268@gmail.com if you like.
Hello Shadow, I do not have any '31 parts. The message was to Vedco because the bumper he posted a picture of is a '29 and I was going to ask how much he wanted for it, and where Bourne is, but he never responded. That was 2 weeks ago so oh well. Probably didn't need it after all.
