Is this hole for mounting the bumper or is it for something else? It's been several months since I took this bumper off that I forgot. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Not exactly sure what the holes for....possibly for the wires to the liscence plate lamps?
but what is goin on with your liscence plate??
 
Well, I'm in the process of restoration and the car is registered and all but I don't have the windshield on yet nor the bumpers.
 
I i see it now...duh
 
I've already got the license plate lights wired through the body next to the mounting screws so that hole is for something else. It's round but not elongated like the others.
 
Right, 5 bolts, 5 elongated, or rectangular holes but there's that round hole I can't figure out, where the arrow is pointing. I should've noted where things were before I took things apart. Oh well, next time! I can always block that hole with something like a rubber plug.
 
I'm guessing Mercedes... I see a grid patterned grill and a chrome bumper... sooo maybe late 70's ish?
 
You're both wrong. Anymore guesses? Hint- The car manufacturer was incorportated in May of 1903. The original owner, David Dunbar _ _ _ _ _, invented the overhead valve engine upon which it's company success was based.
 
You are correct, Eric. Your prize is the satisfaction of knowing you're right and maybe you learned something today.
Boy, am I a cheapskate or what?
