Hidden Headlights.
This popped up in my YouTube feed, and I thought it was interesting stuff. Are you a fan of hidden headlights? If so, what are your favorite examples of hidden headlights.
I like this feature on 1966, 1967, and 1968 Chargers. The Torino GT also looks nice with hidden headlights as well as the 1969 GTO!!! Those are some of my favorites. https://youtu.be/5cpPyKLFsq8?si=tcwYuT0xelEo0hJo Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

Lots of great hidden lights. I briefly had a '69 riviera.
I think the '65 Riviera's headlights were interesting and unusual.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those. The clamshell design was definitely unique.

Yes, hideaway headlights, and didn't Corvette headlights on the C2 and C4 do the roll over thing also?

Hideaway headlights are cool. Like a woman opening her big beautiful eyes in the mornings. Today's cars have angry slitty eyes that never soften.
