The rear bumper of my 75 was vandalized. Originally, the bumper had indentations for each individual letter: C O R V E T T E.

The body shop replaced the bumper with a flush bumper and a script logo.

Did all 75's have the rear with the indented letters? Or was the flush bumper with the script valid at any point?

Thanks
Mike

I'll be honest and say that I have no idea. My 75 had the bumpers replaced with late 70s/80s Fiberglass bumpers. However the lettering on my bumper is indented into the fiberglass. Really terrible to hear about the vandalization!

The 75 had the C O R V E T T E embedded in the rear bumper. The early 76 bumpers did as well, except the letters weren't separated. They were just the corvette script. They probably put a generic or a late 76-79 rear bumper on your car.
