  recently purchased a 1940 Mercury and would like to find some bumper "wings" and "nerf" bars to complement the look of the car

  Ironically...... I bought those bumper wings and they don't fit my '39, bummer! Can anyone tell if these are Ford items? Were 39 and 40 Merc bumpers the same?

  ..... another pic. I hadn't really been looking for these, but now that I've seen them I really want a correct set.

  The 39 and 40 Merc bumpers are very different from each other.

Those tips look like the 40 Merc wing tips. If you show the face, I could be sure.

I don't believe that they were available for the 39 Merc. I don't have access to the accessories for the 39 Merc,so I cannot describe the accessories for the bumper.

  Tom,
Here is the face.

  Those are 1940 Mercury. The indentations should be painted red.

  As always, thanks a bunch Tom.

Looks like I have a nice set of wings for Mr. Topcot if still needing some. Tried to pm him but that function is disabled.

  I made a mistake in identifying the bumper wing tips. The Ford wing tips have 3 indentations and the Mercury has 2. The ones shown in this post are Ford, not Mercury.

Go to the Gallery and look at the Ford and Mercury photos to see the correct wing tips for 1940.

  OK,I was not aware of the Gallery but now very clear to see what is Ford and what is Merc regarding these bumper tips. What I have is Ford.
Thanks Tom.
