Those bumpers look completely out of place for the time period…but Google seems to show other cars with the same thing…
Any idea know more of that history?

I’ve seen similar bumpers, usually on cars a couple of years older (mid-’20s).
Pretty sure they are aftermarket.
In reviewing W-K photos , the two blade (one above the other, like Model As) seem to be standard on lower models, high-end cars had three stacked bumpers. Never seen that.
