        Gorgeous.

        Not asking insane price either! I'd road trip right now if the damned rear seats in the Benz folded down. I have the NOS matching smooth rear bumper.

        Hopefully those aint the wrongs pics attached to his add. lol

          Might be worth renting a car with fold down seats to pick it up. Still a great deal.

              I’ll totally help someone if they want to get this but can’t immediately pick it up.

              However, if it lingers on, I might be tempted to get it...

                Keep in mind it's a Ford bumper (if that is indeed what it is), and would look a little misplaced on a Mercury (bumperette placement and width of faux grilles)

                Nonetheless I want it.

                  Doesn’t look like it has any bumperette provisions. I think this a super stripper base type bumper.

                      Right you are. That kinda turns me off of it.

                      What I want is the faux grilles (and they are - the inserts that go in them do not flow through), the bumperettes, but no rub strips.

                      This combo exists but is (understandably) hard to come by now.

                        Here’s hoping one of you can get it. That way you end up with an awesome bumper, and my hours of useless ebay searching turns fruitful. Not even sure how I found it, given the title of the listing.

                          Run a wagon aluminum inner support and cut out rectangles so they are actually functional, at least that's what I did.

                            Yep, that's the one. I want it in both Ford and Mercury form, have a car for each.

                            That being said, I have pretty ones of that in both Ford and Mercury form minus the little grilles...I've got a silly number of bumpers in my garage considering I don't build derby cars.

                              Its weird how half of the 'point' in the middle of the bumper is flattened for the license plate. I've not seen that on other 79-80 bumpers.
