The 1973 Corvette is notable for its unique bumper configuration. New safety regulations mandated a front bumper that could sustain impacts of up to 5 mph. Chevrolet found a creative way to meet these regulations. They introduced a body colored bumper cover that integrated with the front facia. Most cars use this approach today, but it was revolutionary at the time.
Mark Webb is fascinated by anything automotive and particularly loves cars that are unusual or have a good story. He's owned a variety of cars from 60's muscle, Japanese imports, and oddities like a VW Thing and Porsche 924. After 20 years in the automotive and tech industries, he's a walking encyclopedia of car info and is always on the lookout for his next project or a good road trip.
