What bumper is this from

I think it may be Cadillac but it fits too nice, I'm thinking it's had the small "Vee" shaped piece added in the middle. Very cool though, looks factory.

1954...the first bumper to garner the nickname "Dagmars" for the bumper bullets.

Looks like the lower center section has been removed and I think the "overrider" (connecting the Dagmars usually above a front license plate) is either reshaped or a fabricated replacement to match the shape of the pickup grill bars instead of the original Caddy prow.

Here's a 55 Caddy bumper. It looks like the center section has been shortened on the truck to fit.

Ya, it's a 54 caddy. The guy had to trim it a little bit to make it fut. He did a good job on it.
