- Cadillac Cutaway Bumper, 1992 - The normally visible, outer part of this 1992 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 1991 bumper (92.201.1): slight cosmetic changes aside, the newer bumper has been completely reengineered.
