Rob,
If you're serious about never noticing the things on the Cadillacs of the early 50's I'm surprised. Oldsmobiles had them, too. In 57 the Cadillac got rubber on those bullets which were a design holdover from the days of the bumper guards.
Of course, the inspiration may have come from Marilyn Monroe.
