Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Vertical Bumper guards: Gremmies/Hornets



The vertical bumper guards should fit the front and back. I remember when I couldnt find a rear bumper for my Hornet I was tempted to put the front one on the back.
I think '76 was the 1st year for corner guards on the front bumpers. That is one way to tell the difference between a '75 and '76. I have a front bumper from an early '76 with no corner guards.The vertical guards were an option. I have seen afew Hornets and Gremmies without them.
 I bought a tape of AMC advertisments from '73 which mentioned that the bigger '74ish bumpers were an option.
Oh yeah has anyone seen that TV show Heroes on NBC?  One character has a black '74 or '75 Gremmy.

interchangeable on the '77?
