Help Identifying Rogue Bumper?

[1940_dodge]

Every picture I have seen of a D14 Dodge the front bumper does not have these two upper portions. Was the a bumper from another model car, aftermarket addition, or a homebrew setup from a guy pretty good with metal working?

The main bumper looks to be stock 40 Dodge the upper part is an add on either a dealer installed accessory or an aftermarket piece. Bumper overriders were a popular option or accessory in the 40 to late 50's. There were many sources and configurations.

Google 1940 Dodge and select images, there are several that look similar to yours in design and installation which suggest that yours may be a MOPAR approved and or sourced dealer installed one.

Do you have any links? I haven't seen one that has the two middle struts going across like that.

the bumper and the bumper overriders are synomous with the year but I tend to believe that the gravel shield was optional for that and earlier years and as such not as readily seen...not like the 41 and up where I believe the peice was standard feature..the front butterfly shape is less defined with the absence of the shield..

Greg I'm trying to work with you here, man.

There's no cars with my bumper on there. Maybe you're not seeing the two bars going across horizontally.

There's a guy in Auburn CA that has one just like it on a dilapidated '41 luxury liner. I wanted to put the bumper on my '40 Plymouth

OK, there must be some humor in this question...........I guess if it's

a "rogue" bumper, it must be the Palin model.

actually you would find a Rogue bumper on a Rambler (AMC)

Gents,

The Rogue River runs through Grants Pass, Oregon, and we have a forum member living there so why don't you ask him?

Randy..I guess the bumpers there would be large rocks or deadfall logs jutting out of the river's water..

I've never seen those two bridge pieces in the center between the guards. I have seen more without the extra bumper side guards. Which reminds me, I'm looking for the clips that hold the license plate to the passenger side guard rail. Any ideas?

More than likely an aftermarket accessory someone added to boost the looks.
