You cannot blame headlights for the '58 Chevy... they redesigned the entire car, not just the front end.

Actually the '58 Chevy was originally slated to be the '59 Chevy but the rushed it into production as Ford and Chrysler got the jump on them in '57.

The crazy looking Bat-mobile '59 Chevy was a rush job.

He parked his duece and a half out front. He had NO burglar problems. My mother likes O'tooles?, an irish place across the street. Today, this neighborhood is on an uprise, and almost the entrance to the james river park/ belle isle system mtb trails, which has become a highlight for the city. I also got pulled over in front of this theater in 1986 in my 66 912. Cops called it in as a "late model" lol. The more you know..........

In other transportation news- pantera's are a sexy beast (similar to one a friend in an adjacent neighborhood bought).
