My 62 Fury wagon has bumper guards/ bumperettes on the front bumper. Are these a rare item ?... I have mixed feelings as to weather I like them/ or not.

any information ? anyone ? Yes the car is in need of attention, working on making improvements.
Not sure about the rarity aspect, so someone that's in-the-know should answer about them. But, I don't think you'll see them very often. However...... I like them a lot. They're cool looking !!!
Any more pics of your wagon to share??

Thanks for the additional pics. I also saw another one from the LONGROOF SUNDAY event you attended in the past.
But while looking over all the '62 Fury pics shown in Google, I have come to the conclusion that not too many Furys had those bumperettes installed.
Of that observation, I would conclude that not very many of them left the factory that way, and to me that says quite rare.
Maybe I'm wrong in my assessment of this, but I can't be too far off based on the number on vehicles seen with and mostly without this option.
To me, if there is a factory option as part of my car, and it's not very popular or commonly used in production, I conclude it's not going to be seen by many others,
and I'm definitely going to keep it. Being different is what gets a particular vehicle more notice and could possibly raise more questions at times.
But, it will be nice to be able to tell people they are real, and the car was factory delivered that way.
KEEP THOSE PUPPIES RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE !!! You'll be glad you did. Besides, they belong there.
Of course it's ultimately your choice, but I believe others will agree with the cool factor, and the "keep 'em" thoughts.
