The one piece bumper thing came about because California had different bumper strength requirements than most other states. I have also heard that they may have been required on some Canadian cars as well.

Both the bumpers are the originals (one piece).

Any cars that we have come across in Canada with the one piece bumpers seem to have come from the West Coast. (BC) Not saying it is gospel but have seen and parted enough cars to observe.

There was a small article on this car in the October issue of Super Chevy.

Verne,
It is this month's issue. October 2017 so it should be on the stands now.
