    I like my big bumpers!!!

    The Mavericks look fine with small bumpers, but the Comets look like they have an underbite with small bumpers...

    I would like the weight savings, but hey...

    I'm partial to the semi big bumper on the Comet. Have to agree with the underbite look on a Comet. I do like the small bumpers on the Mavericks.....

    I'm just partial to my '72. I don't really care for the big bumpers, I'M NOT PUTTING THEM DOWN THOUGH!!!!! I'm just saying that I PREFER the small bumpers. But like I said I'm kinda partial to mine. Preston (y)

    I like them all too but I love the small bumper cars. It's like seeing your favorite actress wearing a big heavy wintercoat versus a slinky evening gown...less is much sexier.:rolleyes: :D

    All Mavericks and Comets are cool, but the 71-72 grabbers are the best looking cars ever produced in the history of the automobile.

    Small bumpers all the way!!!!! However, a properly tucked big bumper car does look pretty good.
