Blue Mistress (55 FW)

[Caddy Wizard]

I had a mystery rubber part when I bought stuff for my car.  In Sept. I helped Rick Payton retrieve a parts car that had been stored inside for 50 years.  A very solid car.  I  noticed this bumper shield and how it was supposed to go so I took some photos so I could remember.  I thought I would post here for reference as well.  Seems an odd execution to me.

Yes, my original car (the Blue Mistress -- about 30k miles when I acquired it) had the same rubber splash shields screwed to the back of the rear quarter panels to keep mud and dirt from accumulating in the ends of the rear bumper ends.  Just like in your picture.  Mine were in good enough shape to re-use them, although i did add a second layer of rubber sheet to reinforce them, as they are getting old and tired...
