Yeah,,Thad the Nomads and the station wagons were the only'ist ones that had that style of bumper. All the others had the license plate mounted on the trunk lid. I never did like that placement so I welded up those holes. there was also a big gold color "V" above the license plate that I got rid of also.

Another thing I do not like bout the 55's and 56's is the ends of the rear bumpers stick out past the quarter panels too much. If I go ahead and add the inset section from a 55 thru 60'S Chevy trk rear bumper to mine,,,,I plan to section the whole bumper to bring the bumper ends in close to the quarter panels for bout a 1/2" gap vs the 2" gap they all have from the factory.
