I have noticed allot of the A/AA's have a centre clamp for the front bumper ... Is it normally oval or round ? Hard to tell

In the Judging Standards on page F-7 there are 4 different ones shown.

Two Round ones

Two oval ones

Does the truck have Canadian or US style bumper clamps? There is a difference.

I posted the same question in aa-fords and Neil says that according to the Canadian standards it should be round ... so Round it is
Thanks Guys

Early one states "Ford made in Canada"
Later one only "Ford"

Pepsi mechanic, you are correct . Canadian Model A's stayed with the round centre medallion with Ford script to the end of '29. My own Tudor has the original still on & it was new late '29 .
For 1930 Canada used a plain smooth oval one & in late '30 went to one with the bolt head visible, like the late bumper clamps. These looked like the late Model T US bumper clamps.
