I have purchased a 1959 Olds 442 sport coupe. It does not have a cut out rear bumper. Most all others I see have cut outs. Do I have the wrong bumper?(say from a cutlass?) Thanks Eddie

I assume you mean 1969 442 Sport Coupe. Assuming the VIN starts with 34477... then yes, you should have a cutout bumper. It's been changed at some point.
