  1. The 74 Javelin was only produced through mid December of 73.

  2. There is another thing involved in the 5 mph curb feelers. A light weight car such as an import VW or say a Fiat is sitting in a parking place and gets tagged by a 4500 lb or more full sized car. That full sized car has the inertia of its mass moving at that speed. That import is going to move. And just might suffer damage due its bumpers being built to the import hitting something at 5 mph. Another thing about the 5 mph bumpers and the insurance companies saving money. Collision rates actually went up following the introduction of the "bumper cars" due to it costing more to repair collision damage.
