The ULTIMATE dagmar bumper!
The most bodacious incarnation of the dagmar bumper was found on the 1959 Cadillac Cyclone show car
(Do a  images search for more photos)
The panel in the center of the door was used for paying tolls at the toll booth .
These were the days of pure natural rubber... Silicone had yet to be invented 
Actually,the two-passenger automobile had a clear plastic cover that fit snugly against the panoramic windshield to give the driver true 360 degree vision. When not in use, the power-operated canopy folded backward beneath the surface of the trunk deck and it automatically closed when a sensor detected rain. It automatically lifted out of the way when either door is opened. At a touch of a button, the Cyclone's doors moved outward from the car three inches. Moving smoothly on ball bearings, they slid back for easy entrance. Among its advanced engineering features was a radar device which scanned the highway, and warned the driver electronically of objects in its path. Large, twin nose cones in the front of the car housed the proximity-sensing units.
They electronically alert the driver with both an audible signal and a warning light if an object is in its path. An intercommunication system allowed passengers to converse with persons outside the automobile without raising the canopy.
