Bumpers were raised and the overriders eliminated, while larger taillights incorporated the tail, brake, and backup lights into a single unit. A fresh-air ventilation system was added that necessitated an air-intake louver on the cowl, and crash safety was improved with a collapsible steering column. An external fuel filler was a welcome addition, as drivers no longer had to lift the trunklid to gain access to the gas cap. Feel free to call or email me for additional information.
