Front Bumper Original?
Ralf:
Hi,
I'm uncertain if my front bumper is an origin part.
M7 66
Does it mean Dec. 7th. 1966? May be I'm wrong here,
The other number says 10 20 1
Oct. 20th 1st shift?
Which one would makes more sense since my car is Nov. 30th built
Could anyone help me out here?
Had a look into the libary as well.
See pics.
At the end important to me is it worth to rechrome yes or no. The fitment was great.
Thx
Ralf

10/20/66 would be right

Taiwan bumpers were never stamped with dates like original. The pic provided above is an original stamping.

+1 Looks like an original Monroe plant stamped front bumper with an appropriate date though its seen allot of work in the past when replated. Must have been in a decent tap from the front. That is the reason for all those marks on the front - just part of the "body work" process the chrome shops use with big mechanical hammers and presses
