If you have a copy of Jon Bill's book, Auburn Automobiles, it shows the patent drawing on page 60 for the Phaeton. It's very clear there. It is also in the patent drawing for the Cabriolet in Lee Beck and Josh Malks book, Auburn & Cord, page 75. In both books on the next pages, there is a picture of Alan Leamy in a Speedster that shows the bumpers too.

Found the 4view drawing and you can see my bumper is correct.
Thanks to everyone for all the input.

I can't see it very well in your photos. So is my bumper correct or wrong?
Thanks,
