I am new to this board; my father and I are starting a restoration of a 1972 (he is the second owner) that he parked in his barn about 24 years ago. I have a question on the chrome bumper bars that are on this car. Were these a dealer option, or do you think they were added aftermarket?
Thank you very much, Nathan |

Just as a "For what it is Worth"
Here are a few pictures of the rear bumper that was clobbered by the Buick. You can see where the impact pushed the Crash Bar into the Bumper. It did it's job and saved the taillights and the rear fascia. My car {a 1970} has had them on since new, I bought it in 1973, and it wouldn't be the same without them.. Like I said ,purely "Personal Preference" In my case, the Crash Bars and Wood Dash Pieces that were Dealer Installed Options will stay with the car. |
