I have an early 74, CF14111U. It has had the rubber bumpers since new. I
am the original owner. The car was built in Oct. '73.
The rubber bumpers (aka tits) started ad CF12500.
The "74.5" changes in the US meant that the bumper height was raised to
meet federal crash requirements. These are the CF25000+ cars (more or
less).
