I know they used different parts numbers for the bumpers for these. I think there was one number for 1959-60, a second for 1961 and a third for 1962-63. Does anyone remember what the real differences are? I thought one difference was that 1959-60 did not have the license plate holes in the front bumper. I know they are all the same length and width and have the same general shape. My 61 Lark did not come with guards and the dealer installed the 62-66 style guards on it and I actually think they look better than the 59-61 style. This helps confirm the shapes are the same. Thanks

Milt, 59-60 Lark non station wagon rear bumpers had no license plate holes, front ones did have them. 59-60 station wagon rears had license plate AND license guard holes.
