Please note

Listing in classifieds is for Paid Members. If you can't see the link to click to post an ad it is probably because you are not a paid member. There are no commercial ads allowed except by site sponsors. All for sale or trade ads need to have a price. No listing for offers only, but you can list something with a price. Ebay is allowed as long as there is a "buy it now". Potential buyers can inquire about the item being sold. If the sellers description has an error or not accurate you should PM the seller and or notify a moderator. No negative comments in the classified sections. We all have opinions, but we don’t need to bash people for placing an ad that doesn't agree with our idea of value etc. Members should be able to place an ad without worrying about being bashed. Members listing items or vehicles are expected to stand behind their sale or risk losing classified privileges and possible access to the forums. We want this site to be a place to be able to trust the person we are buying from. The seller & buyer are solely responsible for the terms and conditions of the transaction.

Re: 1962 Chevrolet 1-piece (Cali) front bumper

Mark, No problem from me. I doubt that there is anyone who can say for certain "why" California specified one-piece bumpers. The quote above is from an unspecified source. What-ever the reason, they did it. It's simply part of the history of these cars. Whether it was for safety or road debris really doesn't matter to me other than curiosity.
For what its worth, there are no service replacement numbers for those one-piece bumpers. I believe the edict was that any car "delivered to California" must have them. It was definitely not only cars built in California because I have documented several cars with one-piece bumpers (orig) that were built at other plants out of state. So, having those bumpers is no guarantee that the car was "built" in California; only that it was "sold" new in California. And 1962 was the last year for the one-piece.
