1960 Buick front bumper - Rechrome???

[Gordie]

Looking for opinions,....I'm restoring a 60' Invicta convertible and need to decide whether to rechrome my front bumper for around $600 or purchase a very nice original bumper for $450 to $500. While it is a nice original, it still has 50 year old chrome on it. The car will be a nice driver. Any thoughts????

I sure would not buy one on E bay! See above stories.

For the price difference, rechroming your original bumper (... assuming it is a good core), is probably the better way to go.
Finding a good chrome shop is also a consideration !
