Wow. I never made that connection but they really do! I'd be so tempted to paint one in that bronze paint. :cool:
They look really sharp without them anyway.
Of course you're right here but do the police give you that hard of a time anyway? I have the overwhelming sense that they're more likely to pull over a loud Civic or a plain old Toyota SUV going 80 on the highway than some old geezer in a mopar laying strips of rubber and driving around without a bumper. At least where I am, I bet I could drive all over town without a bumper and not worry about it.
Now that I think of it, my uncle's street-driven '56 Bel Air big block has never had a bumper on it in the 39 years that he's owned it.
