Car Bumper

The car bumper has been a part of auto design for the last 60+ years. It has been considered one of the defining design features of many of the greatest cars ever created. Many classics owe their popularity to the design of the bumpers.

Auto safety became an issue for many during the late 1970’s, resulting in a few government regulations that had to be incorporated into every vehicle. These regulations have altered the way bumpers have been designed for the last 20 or so years. Today’s car bumper is considerable more lightweight than those previous to 1979.

The primary function of a car bumper is to protect the front and rear of a car during a minor impact. The majority of these impacts most often occur in parking lots rather than on the road. Modern bumpers are designed with the safety of pedestrians in mind.
