Info wanted for ’53 hornet rear bumper red stripe

Hudson_in_Seattle

Hi – I have seen a few ’53 hornets with a red upper strip on the rear bumper, like in the attached photo of mr mcqueen’s old hornet sedan - most don’t seem to have this red stripe?

 

Any info on this would be most appreciated, including if this is painted, tape, etc!

 

Thanks for looking!

Enhance your nighttime protection with stealth LEDs behind the bumper (connect to tag lite). No reflection tape here.
