I was looking at photos of Model A's taken in the mid 1930s. 80% of the cars are already missing the center bumper clamp (bumper medalions). Reason- they fall off easy. Look at old photos (in the MAFCA and MARC magazines) form the 30s and 40s and you will see what I mean. Remember the roads were rutted muddy bumpy roads.
