Would still be interesting to see a picture of one and to see how it was "staked".

Were both plastic and metal valances used interchangeably or was this a mid-year change?

If mid-year, does that mean all 71 and 72 Tempest/LeMans rear valances were plastic?

How did the plastic hold up? The front air baffle used with AC cars seems to have aged less than gracefully.. images of broken brittle baffles are planted in my brain.

Here. They were used on 1970-2. One was used (single exhaust pipe). When/where, who knows. Search 1972 plastic rear valance and get lots of questions.
