That car is correct as pictured. From 1971-73, US Spitfires had a black
plastic front underrider as seen on that car. For 1974, US Spitfires got the
almost "cone-shaped" rubber ones front and rear. From 1975 on, they were
rubber but a bit bigger and more squared off. Those remained until the full
front and rear bumper "covers" of late 1979.

sorry - just thought I'd ask if anyone knows when the front bumper of
spitfires had the dual rubber thingees.
I saw one on craigslist; the back bumper is plain but the front has rubber
bumpers. I'm thinking that's wrong?
