Those 2 bottom bumpers are the same bumper, just that the lower picture has the deluxe over-riders bolted on.

Factory, dependant on your car being a deluxe ;)

Do you have both driver and passenger side sun visors in your car?

Hi
I have no idea if it had sun visors or not. Right now except for the seats it doesnt have much of an interior. Is there any other way of knowing whether it was a deluxe or not? What else came on the Deluxe?

I hope someone has noticed that the blade on the lower car is a later one, the earlier ones were drilled differently which prevented the over-riders masking the side lights.

I believe that the overiders were available on the four door. I cannot recall seeing them on a two door.
