Reg1992 ◊ 2017-10-18 15:59	Wouldn't a US-spec '73 Maverick have bumper guards? I would think 1971-73 (unless the bumper guards have been removed)

supcoach ◊ 2017-10-18 17:11	1973 model is correct
Reg1992 ◊ 2017-10-18 17:13	No explanation
supcoach ◊ 2017-10-18 17:24	Look at the thickness of the bumper compared to a 1972 model. They may or may not have bumper guards as well. Depends on the manufacturer. 1972 - https://bringatrailer.com/2011/03/19/clean-1972-ford-maverick/ 1973 - https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/33843094

I would think 1971-73 (unless the bumper guards have been removed) I'm sorry that I left out the explanation on my finding of the model year. In 1973, the US government demands that the front bumper needs to be minimal damage with 5-mph impact, but didn't specified the rear bumper. By 1974, the US government demanded to have both front and rear bumper to be beefier with 5-mph impact with minimal damage. I think it has to do with our insurance company did not want to pay big money for bunch of ding for both front and rear
Commander 57 ◊ 2017-10-18 18:34	I believe the rear impact standard was 2.5 mph, rjluna2.
