Can someone go into detail about the differences between the 29 and 30 bumper, I have a 29 and a 30 and where the three bars are clamped together on the outer ends the center bar or bar that attached to the frame is pinched or narrower than my 30 bars, I am wondering though still if Chevrolet used both styles in 29 as I have seen both styles on a number of cars and have talked with a number of people that have these cars and there seems to be no standard. I cannot seem to find the medallions to my 29 bumper which has only maybe a 3/4 space between the two face bars. Hope I am clear enough and thanks again for everyones help so far, I have really talked with alot of great guys that really seem anxious to help and have had the patience to answer my questions.

Bumpers on the 1929 thru 1932 passenger cars were genuine Chevrolet accessories added by the Chevrolet dealer. The bumpers were not standard equipment. The two face bars for all of 1929 and early 1930 are the same...the bumper brackets are different. For 1929, at the eye end of the bumper where the two face bars are held together with the bumper eye bolt, the bumper bracket dips down at the ends, therefore, the two face bars are closer together than the bumper used on the 1930 models. For 1930, the bumper bracket does not dip down like on the 1929, so the two face bars for 1930 are further apart than on the 1929 bumper.

As you may know, the 1929 medallions were different than the 1930 medallions.

Yes I do see that, I got my catalogs tonight I think and I have heard that someone reproduces them. This is the part I enjoy anyway, finding all the right parts.
