Interesting, Bill. I thought I remembered seeing `67s with both types of overriders - assumed that some had had the bumpers replaced, didn't know that early ones lacked the offset from the factory. It wasn't mandatory to clear either decklid, but it was definitely a nice touch that gave a little extra margin in the event the bumper got punched in a little.
