1972 Duster Build with my Daughter

Yep, they would last forever lol. And cost more to manufacture, thats why the plastic bushings. Cheaper, faster, works the same. The average buyer couldent care less either. The bean counters at work. The differences in my 67 and my sons 69 both barracuda coupes are pretty dramatic when comparing the 2 cars. They even eliminated the lower belt line stainless on the tops of the doors and quarter windows on the 69, and went with a plastic bezel for the ignition switch in 69. The 69 grilles used a lot of plastic compared to 67, and 68. Headlight bezels were silver plastic and not chromed potmetal, no chrome inserts on the 69 hood either. Prob again cheaper to produce.
