Looking for a bumper for my 69 Cutlass!

Hi, My name is Alex and I have a 1969 Cutlass S. My current bumper is the only thing that is making my car look bad. I have looked everywhere for a bumper. A local rechroming place wants $360 to get my current bumper rechromed. If I can save a few bucks buying a used one i would love it. It would also be great if I could find a 442 bumper with the exhaust cut outs. Thanks

$360 for a triple-plated rechrome is a good price. There are now 68 and 69 repro front bumpers. I saw them at Fall Carlisle. Price will be about what your chrome shop wants.

Thanks Joe! I appriciate it! I was thinking about changing the bumper to a 70. They seem to be everywhere. I do like the look of the 69 bumper though. Can you change the 69 and the 70? the rear ends are very similar.
