bumper guards

[arkusvt]

Have noticed several cars with front bumper guards in my quest to learn as much as I can about the Mark ll. Found no mention on the net. I'm sure there is a story? George Perry

They only went on cars that were shipped to states that required front license plates.

Barry, thank you!

Good question, arkusvt, one that I would have never thought to ask. My car has bumper guards and somehow I just assumed they were an option you could order if you liked the look of bumper guards (or were prone to run into things).

For some reason, Barry's answer caught me off guard that there actually was a reason and the reason was so simple. Starting 1/1/25 Utah no longer requires front license plates. I guess that will then make my bumper guards superfluous appendages.
