I would think that the optional bumper ends would be a dealer installed accessory ?

[aarrggh]

Thanks for pointing out the Mack AC. I never would have known what is was without your comment.

I've had an affinity for Mack AC's since seeing one at the first Concours I ever attended at about 16 years of age (around 1979). Unrestored, the guy drove it to the show from the S.F. bay area to Modesto, probably doing well under 30mph the whole way. Wooden cab, solid tires, chain-drive, and the unusual design with the radiator against the firewall, instead of out front ahead of the engine (many early French automobiles used this configuration).

Then you'll like the ones I posted here: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...s-let-s-see-em!

Often, the term, 'coal scuttle hood' is used to describe that kind of configuration.

Maybe some add-on fog lights? I'm not sure how old that shot is, it looks kinda staged.

I reckon it can't be that awfully old since it's SQUARE lights, right?
On the other hand, the plate on one of the Triumphs looks kinda Brittish too?

The plate on the motorcycle is mounted like an old front British plate, but the numbering sequence is not correct for a British plate.
