    58-60 vs 61-62 front bumper

    I know the difference between the 58 and 61 front bumpers are found in the depth of the grille bar mounting studs, but based on the picture, do I have a 58 or 61 bumper? The mounting bar sits about 1" back and the AIM, ST-12 and Corvette Restorer archives don't show a bumper comparison. Time to ask the experts!
    Also, how can you tell an original vs reproduction bumper on a 58? Thanks in advance.

    Looks like a 58-60 to me.

      I just measured the same area on a '62 bumper and it's about 1 5/8".

        great Rich, thanks for checking. They always say there are differences between the 58's and 61's, but sometimes don't tell you what the measurements are. Now I know. Appreciate you and Mike's help on this one.
