Re: Ford Dealership
Thank you to everyone who has responded to my question. It looks like G.E. McKay Ford dealership was located in Pomona. I still wonder if they had a second dealership in Claremont? Fred

Re: Bumper interchangeability
1940-1941 bumpers are not interchangeable the 1941 Ford body is wider then the 1940 body. They may look the same but they are different. You will have to rechrome your 1941 bumpers. Fred
