Ah yes, Dagmar bumpers. When they first came out, they were all chrome, but they inflicted much damage to cars that were rear-ended by them. So on later models, GM put black rubber tips on them to minimize damage--but the rubber tips gave them a pastied look, didn't they... or it made them look like breasts with huge silver-dollar nipples.

Yeah, women wore those bullet bras in the 1950s; I don't think breasts started looking "natural" again until the 1960s.

1954
