Just saw this on eBay.....and I am baffled!
My car buddies and I have had many discussions about car designs in the 60's, 70's and early 80's when designers were limited to standard round 5 3/4" or 7" headlights or a basic set of rectangular sealed beam units. We often discussed what we considered creative designs that tried to integrate the lighting units in new and interesting ways (which is probably why just about everything exotic in that era had flip up / recessed lights) . However, whoever came up with this design wins by a landslide!

This pimptastic whip is up on eBay right now! As ridiculous as it is....it really is in immaculate condition. The scary thing is as soon as I saw the auction listing I knew I saw one of these before. Then it hit me....the movie cover of Super Fly. I'm not sure if I'm proud or ashamed of the fact that I was able to recall this.
So happy bidding!
