    Default Tribute to Pop Up Headlights: Almost every car made with them

    This is not a slide show!

    You'll see some of the rarest cars - Vectors, Cizeta, Toyota 2000GT, and tons of others. There are 60's muscle cars in there too, like Chargers, and GTO, and others. This was a very fun and ambitious project, so I hope you enjoy!

    Very cool video! I have a 70 Cougar at the shop right now with working hideaway headlights, I'll have to get a vid for ya before it leaves. In the vid at 11:50, I'm the guy that made those headlamp doors work

    Cool video. I always hated the vacuum system that operated the headlights and wiper door on my '70 Corvette. I eliminated the wiper door by replacing the hood with the longer version (Chevrolet realized it was a terrible design and did away with it in 1973). I always planned on converting the headlight actuation to electric motors but sold the car before I got around to it.

    For those who have never seen the wiper door in action, here's a video I found on YouTube.

    Thank you for the kind comments guys! Nothing serious, but sure was fun and a unique project. Plus, there is a possibility of a Volume 2, because there are still some cars that are missing. It would take a long time, but I'd love to get some help from you guys if this goes down!

    NICE!! I remember that day very well, the headlights weren't working properly at first, but you got them working at the last minute. Thank you for contributing to that, and I would LOVE to have the 70 Cougar if I do a Volume 2 of this!

    That's another car I would love to have. You're talking about the Mustang prototype, right? It may be a long shot, but it never hurts to ask, right?
