Cutout bumpers

Cutout bumpers
Anyone else noticed the abundance of cutout bumpers used on newer vehicles? High-zoot imports have had them for several years, but even Dodge Ram pickups are getting into the act now- complete with rolled lip around the opening.
How much you wanna bet their designers can't tell you the first car to use a cutout bumper? Hint- event though Oldsmobile made it famous and a marque styling identifier, Olds wasn't the first. We're not talking thru-the-bumper exhaust tip openings a la 56 Ford/Thunderbird or 54 Cadillac- we're talking a true cutout exhaust opening.

I think the clue is:
So that would make it AFTER 2004
How about 2005 Audi A6?
or maybe the Volvo S60R?
How about another clue???
They waited for Olds to go out
