Title: mystery hole in rear bumper deck
Post by: lamacchina on March 15, 2024, 07:36:30 PM
I recently bought a '50 special deluxe convertible.  It has a square hole in the rear bumper deck.  Any ideas about what might have been mounted there?

If the car had rear air shocks installed at one time, this hole could possibly have been used to mount the fill valve?

This car is very original.  I don't think it ever had air shocks.

Could it have been where an extension/accessory spare tire inflator was mounted?
