I thought I mentioned the Riv already? Anyway, I prefer the "hidden headlight" ones like on Roadhouse. I'm the same way about old Camaros...
You may have... I haven't checked on this thread in awhile.

The clamshell headlights are cool, but I prefer the 63/64' look. Plus the clamshells can be problematic.

Everything else in my life tends to be problematic...why should headlights be any different?

When I was in high school one of the cars I wanted was a Triumph TR6. I thought that they looked and sounded cool.

My neighbor had one and he loved it and hated it. He was constantly having to fix one thing or another. I think he finally sold it and bought a 280Z.

Me too... I walked past a house with a Monte Carlo SS on the way to elementary school. But if you think about it, there weren't may cool cars from the 80's.
