And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Maybe, maybe not. The 5mph bumpers were mandatory on passenger cars, but not commercial vehicles. If it could carry more than 1,000lbs it could be classified as a commercial vehicle. The grille on the Wagoneer is from '74, it was changed to a checkerboard pattern in '75. Al_in_Ottawa

ReplyDeleteMetal front bumpers, so pre-1974.

Bought a new 78 CJ-7 and it had a metal front bumper.
ReplyDeleteThat tie, and that plaid jacket are as date determinative as the grill on the Wagoneer.
