The cars look Waaaaay better in my opinion. Like they'd do any good in a crash anyway.

Whenever I do that, some prick will park right next to me, just to be an ***!
It's okay John. I will keep the guards with Lee forever...so when I'm ashes the next caretaker can have them...it's one way to get Lee to the house...she needs to fit in third stall...I can't leave anything out on driveway overnight there have been a rash of vehicle break-ins. Can't take any chances...plus what I would do to someone if I catch them scares me. Can't enjoy Imperials in prison.

That's the way I park ALL of my cars ALL of the time, whether its my Fury, my 300 or my Ram. My wife used to get ticked off at me for parking out in the 'boonies' but I always told her these cars were are next biggest investment after our house and if she should take care of them the same way she takes care of the house. Now she appreciates it because it gives us some exercise in our older years.

I don't really mind, I kept them as they were an original feature - anyway, it's no longer a daily driver and as 78brougham correctly states, apart from minor car park bumps they were/are pretty useless- more useless bureaucratic bullshit.
Lol.

Funny thing is they come off and on pretty easy...socket wrench 3/4" and 9/16"...bam...done.

If it was any easier they would've put it in the owners manual. It's almost as if they designed them that way....

Yeah, they're so beautiful he'll find some more on line and put them on the '72's too!
They might as well be attached with velcro. Thank God they weren't a welded-on piece. I originally thought of keeping them on for a little diversity and historical design reasons...but, practicality trumped this idea with length issues in my garage.

Actually one 72 4dr has the front bumper guards of a 73 Imp...
It´s not bad at all, but I`m a bit weird.

Mr Smith bumped his head too!

Kenny, I´m not sure about the true story, but it is claimed that the Imp above is produced so late that the factory installed the bumper guards up front. Smith was the first owner of the car and did own it for at least 30 years and now it belongs to mr Noiles, who tried to acquire the car quite many times in the past before success.

McGoldy without bumper guards. Does look cleaner like with Old Red.
