58-60 & 61-62 Front Bumpers

[David D.]

Which of these two bumpers is correct for a 1960 Corvette?

Dave--
The lower one. 61-2 as you know, had just the grille bar--58-60 had also the teeth, so the bar with teeth was set farther back in the bumper.

Dave,

It looks to me like the lower one has been altered. I looked at the bumpers on my '59 and they appear to have an opening to accept the grill bar that would resemble the one on top in the picture.

Thanks Mike, I am experiencing a senior moment. I have tried to imagine the differences using only the bar and then the bar and teeth and drew a blank on which should be used for each application.
