Cadillac Cutaway Bumper, 1991

01

Artifact Overview

The normally visible, outer part of this 1991 Cadillac bumper has been styled; its construction and constituent parts have been carefully engineered; the success of the entire assembly -- the way it works as a whole -- is the result of design. Compare this to the 1992 Cadillac bumper (92.201.2): the styling has shifted but the most radical changes are beneath the surface.
