"Bumper: A Journey Through Automotive History" Step into the world of automobiles with a glimpse at some iconic bumpers that have left their mark on history. From the sleek MG B Roadster in Britain to the captivating Buick Advertisement of 1929, these cars have become symbols of style and innovation. In the heart of Britain, the MG SA stands tall as a testament to British engineering excellence. Its elegant design and powerful performance make it an unforgettable sight on any road. And who can forget the timeless charm of the MG MGB Roadster? This classic beauty has captured hearts for generations with its quintessential British flair. Across the Atlantic, American muscle takes center stage with gems like the mighty Buick Special. With its bold presence and roaring engine, this car embodies everything that makes American automobiles legendary. Meanwhile, a head-on view of a traffic jam reminds us how bumper-to-bumper moments are an inevitable part of our daily lives. The OIL CRISIS in 1979 brought about significant changes in our relationship with cars. As lines formed at gas stations across Maryland, people anxiously awaited their turn to fill up their tanks amidst fuel shortages. Warren K. Leffler's photograph serves as a stark reminder of how external factors can impact our mobility. Traveling further south brings us to Miami Beach's South Beach where a stunning 1956 Buick Convertible basks under Florida's sun-soaked skies. Its vibrant colors and retro allure transport us back to an era filled with glamour and excitement. Venturing beyond borders, we find ourselves in Havana, Cuba where restored classic American cars proudly roam the streets outside The Capitilio building. These vintage vehicles serve as living testaments to Cuba's rich automotive heritage while adding undeniable charm to every corner they grace. Finally, we encounter luxury personified through Mercedes-Benz's exquisite creation -the 280 SE 5 Cabriolet finished in resplendent gold.
