What is this bumper piece called? And where do I find one?
Looking for a rear bumper piece for my 77 Cutlass Supreme.
What is this black plastic piece called? bumper pad? impact strip? something else?
And where do I find one? Does anyone make them?
Thanks!

More specifically they are the bumper guard inserts that you're looking for. I don't know if the front guard inserts are the same as the back ones, but here's something I found on a quick web search. Might fit but not sure.

I have an NOS one in the GM box for a '75 Malibu and "cushion" is what is printed on the box. I know that in every case I've seen on these '73-'77 "A" bodies, the fronts are different than the backs. And, I seriously doubt the later models' cushions will fit.
Where to find them? Good question. If you can get the GM part number, search the internet, e-Bay, etc. Part number is always molded into the back of them if you can't find it online. But, don't try to remove the other one you have unless you remove the bumper guard and pinch/push it out from behind. The design of the retaining pegs is such that they will most likely break if you try to pry them out from the front.
