Does anyone know if the early 1936 coupe came with a 1935 bumper. Is it possible?

Not from the factory.

Thanks Don for your reply. I had a chance to buy a set of 35 bumpers to put on my 36.
It’s tempting but how big of a difference is it.

The angle of the fold over ends are different and outer brackets on the front and rear brackets are different.They curve down on the '36 brackets.A '36 coupe I had a while back had a '35 front bumper.The brackets were '36.The bumper was about 1/2" from hitting the fender.Another thing is people that know will start pointing out that the car has '35 bumpers.Maybe that does not matter to you.

Also, the bumper guards are different, but both 35 and 36 bumper guards would fit either bumper.
