> Pressed bumper buses were both barndoor & 55 thru 58 buses. In 59 they went to the bigger/heavier bumpers w/ overriders. FWIW, I left out the word "ribbed" in my description of early bumpers as opposed to 59 & later bumpers. Andrew is correct in pointing out that the overriders are in fact a USA spec only. Pressed ribbed metal bumpers never had overriders in the US or anywhere else as far as I know, but both style bumpers are indeed "pressed" metal, but only the early ones have a rib in the middle that was painted a different color than the rest of the bumper. Tom-needs to pick his words more carefully
