Guest Shaffer Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I thought these are quite large for this car. I have seen some early 70s cars with unusually large bumper gaurds. Are these factory options, at a higher cost than the standard size optional gaurds? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...=6144#mainImage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Tony, I'm pretty sure those are aftermarket, but a lot of dealers used to stock and install them. We used to call them "Superfly" guards. They were a popular 70s thing.I'll say this- that Buick wears them better than most cars. The ones for Fords especially looked kinda gauche.

66400 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Looks like JCWhitney add ons, I went through the New York City area and the were very common on many cars in the city. Search bumper guards on eBay and lots of nos aftermarket ones show up.Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Tony, these were definitely not a Buick-supplied item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
