The Citroen D/DS - a late 60s early 70s car.... It's kinda weird really.

The real question is where did Aston Martin get the design for the headlights on the new Vanquish:

Well unlike the Stook, the Vanquish's headlights look very integrated into the front fender and are pulled around the sides.

The Stook's don't look as integrated and are pulled more up front..

That's my take at least..

Guys, there's nothing new under the sun, at least as far as headlight covers are concerned. I think these all owe their origins, if I'm not mistaken, to the Jaguar D-type, which was the model for the glass covers on the Series I E-types.
