1976 Duster

Actually, the F-bodies were worse and had several recalls, including rusting fenders.

1976 was the year of the Dart Lite and Feather Duster. Hood and trunk had aluminum bracing and the bumpers had aluminum inner reinforcements (The inner structure that bolted directly to the "shock absorber" bumper brackets.) Aluminum cased 4-speed OD was an option and the /6 had a specially calibrated carb on an aluminum intake. "Spirit of '76" was a cool optional appearance package for the bicentennial on the Dart Sport. I can't recall if the Duster had it too.

They may have gone to big bolt pattern wheels, even on those with front drum brakes. I'm a bit fuzzy on that one as well.
