What happened to Chrome Bumpers?

[GlennT]

Not sure if this has been asked before. But whilst hacking (at the usual truck enforced 56mph) up the A34 and seeing the flotsam and jetsam of discarded plastic "bumpers" in the long grass and central reservation, I got to wondering about cars with proper bumpers, then of course you start thinking to yourself - What was the last car in production with chrome bumpers? And come to that what was the first?? Something American I should think.
Is there still a car in remote corner of the world still produced with chrome bumpers? . I think it's easy to work out which is the last with painted proper bumpers - Land Rover Defender, and you could put up an argument for Morgan - but that's hardly mass production, and even they seem only to be able to come up with a chrome overrider these days.

Over to you.......
