AMCO sold these in the states during the 1960's. These "grill guards'
bolted beneath the bumper and were often referred to as "cow catchers".
I bought one in 1968 - it was a necessitiy living in San Francisco,
especially parking on the 'hilly' streets. I know it saved my grill
many times! We live in Michigan now, but I've kept the bar on - mainly
for sentimental reasons.
I haven't seen the bar adverstised anywhere for many years.
