Default '76 exterior questions

1. Did the '76 come with molding around the rear window? Mine has none and looks really rough. Can't seem to find any online.

2. Did the '76 come from the factory with the front "bumper" having a seam at the fenders and across the nose under the lights, or patched as one piece with the rest of the front end?

No rear window trim and yes, a seam around the bumper. The front and rear bumpers are separate and can be removed.

Thanks. My seam is filled in. I need a new bumper badly. Unfortunately, I have no idea what color the previous owner painted the car... guess it will have to wait until I can do the whole body. Anybody put bras on their cars anymore?

I do not use one, however, I have seen quite a few that still use a bra these days.
