Default Help ordering a bumper

Im trying to order a new rear bumper for my 1976 Corvette. There is two options though and I dont know which to pick. There is a regular one and one for Early 1976 corvettes.

My car was built on June 21, 1975

Which am I?

If your car was built on June 21, 1975, then you can't have a 76! Any Corvette built in June of 75, would be a 1975 model. 76 production didn't begin until August of 75.

If you meant June 21, 1976, then you need the 2nd design rear bumper. The 1st design, with the indent for the smaller rear emblem, was only used for the first few months of production. I don't have the exact date of the which over, but I'm pretty sure it was before January 1976.
