Keep the late model bumpers! The idea of a real factory looking fat chick Hebby gives me a raging stiffy! Twisted Evil

I vote blades but no towel racks. The highth of blades on the Super front is tricky due to the higher hood line but a smooth blade fits the round curves on the car better than the square girder that regulations called for in the 70s.. imoh
