Hello,
I'm impressed by the many replies to my rather
arcane question. Here is what the '72 sales
brochure says about it:
"Specially striking for '72 is the way the bold
integrated taillight units are set off by the matte
black finish of the chrome-rimmed concave tail
section."
But then they go on to say:
"Mark IV offers lively response from its 1,296 cc
four-cylinder engine"
So you can't believe everything you read :-)
