...I think it was the '73 model year that had to comply with the US bumper requirements, and it really screwed up the car.

1974: the year of the "front porch/rear porch" bumbers.

Well, time for me to leave..I have very much enjoyed this discussion, and tho we hardly seem to see eye to eye on anything, still, this was a most civil discussion, which I appreciate...

The hubby returns soon from his day at the VA, and I need to start the laundry, and get the dear hubby his dinner...

I probably wont be online much in the next few days...family coming in for the big Easter Feast...lots of work to do...

Will try to check in later if time allows..

But if I have not time to check in, I just want to wish for everyone enjoy your Easter, with friends and family, and hopefully good food, fine thoughts, enlightening conversations, and lots and lots of warmth and love...

I was posting from memory (never a good idea). '74 sounds right. That was, roughly, also the 3 windshield-wiper period, IIRC.
