Can't find AC-2473

[studefan]

I can't seem to find this part number in the books. It is an accessary chrome top bumper bar that's approximately 3 feet long. Written on the box is 1953/54 coupe. Can someone please help me locate this is the parts book and verify what it fits? Thank you

The Almost Never sold or used Bumper Over-riders, Tall Vertical Bumper Guards on many late '40's and early 50's Stude's had a Horizontal Cross Bar connecting between them. This sounds like maybe part of one of those Kits.
The writing on the box may tell most of the Story.

Another place to find AC application info is the appropriate year of Studebaker Parts and Accessory "Book "F" Price List.
Mine is Too New for '53/'54, and that # was no longer listed by 1961.

Rich is right, as usual. There was a previous thread about this part number and it includes a picture.

I would note Tom's comment "Front bumperettes are stock but not in stock position.", in post 9 to the previous thread Mike referred to; The vertical bumpers ARE in the stock position when the fog lights were mounted at the factory. '53 and '54 fog lights were mounted inboard with the vertical bumperettes outboard. Those bumperettes were mounted in place of the fog lights when fog lights were not ordered. Then in '55 it was just the opposite.
