De Tomaso also did a pretty good job when it realizeditsy-bitsy bumperettes weren’t going to be man enough to meet the new legislation.
The rear bumper wasn’t hugely elegant , but the front one neatly followed the lines of the fenders and hood, just like the Corvette’s, and still managed to look pretty cool even though it wasn’t painted in body color.Some foreign automakers didn’t even attempt to homologate their cars, deciding that the cost of meeting both the crash legislation and increasingly strict emissions rules wasn’t worth the bother, or was simply unaffordable.
