The Galaxies say Galaxie on the trunk or back of car. This car says Ford. I think Lloyd is right, it's one of the base models like Custom 300. Very close to Galaxie but not quite? Sheetmetal close or same as
Galaxie?

right. the sheet metal, running gear, etc are the same. the Galaxie was a bit more upscale in options etc. Ford later dropped the custom and used XL as the base and XLT as the more fancy model.

Kaiser is a rare car, anyway, a bumper is going to be hard. Try the HAMB. Stands for Hokey Ass Message Board. Sign up, introduce yourself per rules, and post in the wanted section of the classifieds.

Try www.kfclub.com. They're only for Kaiser cars. I found them on google.
