saiers Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 I need both a front and rear bumper for a Canadian 1947 Dodge. I was told US Plymouth worked, but sure enough the rear bumper I bought from a US Plymouth does not work. Does anyone know with certainty which bumpers would be compatible with my car? Quote

saiers Posted February 28, 2019 Author Report Posted February 28, 2019 Hi Frank, No, it looks like the other pictures posted. I bought a rear bumper from a 46-48 Plymouth US model from a guy on eBay and it doesn't fit the brackets of my car as the bumper doesn't curve nearly as much as the ones pictured here (as mine should be). Here is a picture of what I need.. which looks the same as a front bumper if I'm not mistaken? Quote
Frank Elder Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Why don't you post some good pictures from different angles of your bumper, the front and rear on my 47 dodge are the same except for the fluid drive script on the rear bumper but a different shape than the d-25 bumper. See the ribs it isn't smooth like the D-25/P-15 bumpers Edited February 28, 2019 by Frank Elder Quote
DonaldSmith Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 The Dodge in Post No 5 is not a Plodge. No sharp Vee in the grille, no creases under the headlights. Maybe Saiers' Dodge shares the Dodge-Desoto-Chrysler body and is not Plymouth-based. Mother Mopar sold both varieties in Canada. Quote

I'n well aware that a D-24 is not a D-25 Donald, I was trying to see if someone sold him the wrong bumper, I never claimed those were D-25s in my post....in fact if you reread the post it clearly states that the pictures are not D-25/P-15 bumpers. If you look at his avatar it is a D-25 not a D-24. Quote
saiers Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Posted March 1, 2019 Mine has the simple bumpers, like the US Plymouth, but the US Plymouth bumper I bought bolts up differently and doesn't curve around the sides nearly as much as what I need. My car does have a grill that comes to a sharp V in the middle. Quote

I'm guessing you can't or don't know how to post pictures of your ill fitting bumper, until you do we can't help you without a ton of guessing and speculation. Quote
saiers Posted March 2, 2019 Author Report Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) I can take pictures when I get to the car which is in the shop as they were installing the tires. Edited March 2, 2019 by saiers Quote
Frank Elder Posted March 2, 2019 Report Posted March 2, 2019 Wonderful! I hope this can get figured out. Quote

I have a 1948 Dodge D25 .I've scanned a page from the Canadian Chrysler Passenger Car Parts List 1940-1948 . The part numbers you need for the rear bumper are at the bottom of this page, ( my 1948 Dodge falls within those listed in Note "A"). The Canadian Dodge D25 and Plymouth P15 share the same part numbers .The U.S. Plymouth P15 uses different part numbers for the bumpers.The part number for the front bumper face bar is 1118319 and is the same for both the Canadian Plymouth P15 and the Canadian Dodge D25.

Cannuck Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 I am wondering would an american P15 bumper be different than a canadian P15 ? Could it possibly be a front bumper? Quote
saiers Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Posted March 7, 2019 No, it's definitely different. It is the simple Plymouth style, but doesn't curve around the sides nearly as much as the Canadian one does. I am getting to the car tomorrow and will snap a couple of pictures to show the differences. I've tracked a Canadian rear bumper now and am on the look out for a front. It does look as though the US and Canadian Plymouth front bumpers are the same. Quote

BobT-47P15 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 The rear bumper on that black coupe looks odd to me......it seems to stand out from the body further than others and is notably longer (larger) than other P15s.... wrapping around the fender further. Maybe the company used an odd bumper for a period of time back then. As far as the brackets.....you would need to change brackets to install another shorter version of the bumper. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) A 47 Dodge owned by another Canadian.........bumper same as a P15 Plymouth.....????. https://www.flickr.com/photos/daveseven/8495487986/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/daveseven/8495487344/in/photostream/ Edited March 7, 2019 by BobT-47P15 Quote
saiers Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Posted March 7, 2019 Compare the top US Plymouth bumper to the bumper on the car you linked to.. not the same. The red car is the style I purchased incorrectly and the blue one is like what I need. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 You can see my 1947 Plym rear bumper is the short one....... But the front is longer....possibly close to the rear one you're looking for..... Quote
Robin (UK) Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 This has come up before and I posted some reference pictures. The D25 bumpers are definitely different to P15 bumpers. Same cross-section, but not the same brackets or bolt positions. Here's a link to my earlier post. I hope this helps... Quote
Frank Elder Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 I think Bob nailed it because the picture you showed of Bam's rear bumper sure looks like Bob's front bumper.....almost every single rear bumper I have seen on P-15s are the short one. Looks the same to me.....let me get my glasses....lol. Quote
