Let's talk rear bumpers
 

Just out of curiosity, was a full length rear bumper an option on any Model As? I've seen both split bumpers on each side and full length on variousA-s. I've often wondered if people are mounting front bumpers on the back.

As near as I know, my 31 Deluxe Roadster came with dual fender-mount spares, with full bumpers on the back. I can only assume it came that way, as I only have knowledge of it from the 70's and the little old lady that owned it wasn't really the type to modify her ride.

I think any dealer for the sake of a sale would option your car the way you requested. I doubt there would be corporate dissent.

That’s why my 31 CCPU has a rear bumper.:)

Full length rear bumper was standard on 30 Deluxe Roadster, as was luggage rack and left front fender mount spare. For 31, the spare was rear mounted and the full bumper and luggage rack went away. However, they could be special ordered at extra cost. So yes, a full length rear bumper was optional on that model.

I think the full bumper also was standard on the Deluxe Phaeton and the Convertible Sedan. And as J Franklin said, I expect a dealer would install one.

A picture would be nice, to show us what you have.

My 31 DeLuxe had a one piece rear bumper with dual sidemounts.

Great, thank all. 1 last question, is the single long rear bumper that same front bumper mounted in the rear?

Re: Let's talk rear bumpers
 

Yes.
