All 72 sprints came with the urethane front bumper.

Our 72 coupe has a chrome front bumper. My 73 donor had a urethane front bumper. I've seen pics of 72s with the same style bumper as those I see on 73s. Can any of you historians clarify this for me? Did they switch the style in the production year? Is it a coupe v. fastback issue? Something else?
Thanks.

71-72 urethane bumper was used on Mach 1s and the sport package coupe. The 73 bumper is a significantly different part and requires different front fenders and fender extensions. The change was made to meet federal regulation regarding 5 mph frontal impact damage.
