For a video about headlights, you spent too little time on the headlights themselves, and more time showing us what the cars sounded like, and how they accelerated. At least half the cars you didn't even feature a clip of the headlights in operation. Only showing them in either their closed or open state.

It's amazing that #1 isn't the Opel GT, but not even mentioned?
You missed many much cooler ones: The Miura which had "eyelashes". The Opel GT with pop up lights that rolled sideways, 180 degrees. Jaguar XJ220 with covers that dropped in front of the headlights. Cizeta Moroder which had NOT 2 but FOUR popup lights. Corvette C4 which rolled the headlights in a spectacular way. An the ones who started it all Cord 810 and Alfa Romeo 8C, back in 1936. Please be more thorough!

Opel GT.
I'm glad they included the Buick Riviera at 0:55. It was definitely on my list. It was the early 70s. Someone I knew in high school got a blue, fairly mint like 65 Buick Riviera for his high school used car. His dad got it for him. It had those incredible headlights, and a very fast 4 bbl V8. I got a slow 65 Pontiac station wagon with a straight 6 engine. It was better than walking. He abused the car and didn't seem to care. Life is definitely not fair.
What about the early Cougars? I had a '68 Cougar XR7 and the way the head lights opened was so cool. They were powered by the vacuum tubes. First the left would open and half way through the right open. Awesome to watch.

These are the cars we currently own with pop up headlights- 2 -1992 Acura NSXes, a 1991 BMW 850i, 1993 Corvette, 1992 Trans AM convertible, and a 1986 Fiero GT fastback.
And Opel GT - it's unique! Cars like F40, M1 looks good because of second headlights row.
Show a couple with lights working then spend time showing cars racing. How about dodge charger, Pontiac GTO , chev Camaro
I owned a white w/white leather interior, '66 Buick Riviera back in 1971. It had "flip-up" headlights that, amazingly, never malfunctioned (for me). While the milage/per/gallon was nothing to write home about, it was a beautiful ride. And, definitely was a beast on the road.
Fun video! I absolutely love the AM Lagonda! That is SO eighties! 2.0 turns lock-to-lock steering! As a child, my Dad had a friend with an Opel GT with the manual rotate-into-place lights which worked fine unless frozen sometimes. (Biggest problem with that car was the clutch cable didn't last long.)
You forgot the 3rd and 4th gen Firebirds!!!!!

The C4 Vettes were better. Firebird just popped up halfway. C4's would rotate around almost a full circle when you opened and closed them. Much cooler looking.

You left out 67-68 Eldo and 80-83 Mark VI had the fog lights outside the popup headlights.
Some cars that should have been on this list... 1963-67 Chevrolet Corvette - Corvette styling, with pop up lights, has never been better. Opel GT - They flip up sideways with the pull of a lever. How cool is that? Toyota 2000GT - These pop ups are as intricate looking as a Swiss watch. Beautiful, just beautiful. Ferrari 308 GTB/GTS, 328 GTB/GTS and 288 GTO - Elegant pop ups on elegantly styled cars. Plus, Magnum PI drove one! Porsche 911 Slantnose - It's a 911 with pop ups... who could ask for more? The headlights on the Lancia Stratos are the least exciting part of the car though. Mostly because that car is a monster!
No Mention of the Holden VL Calais from Australia? 😩
The alfa's lights don't "pop up". In fact, they don't move at all. Why is it on this list??? Same goes for the Buick. Having headlight covers isn't the same as having pop up headlights. A more appropriate name for this video would be "Best cars with weird headlight covers and pop ups". The cars are cool though.
Like your channel, but never know what to expect.
All hidden headlights on every car are the best.
Corvette Sting Ray 63 missing, also Mercedes Benz C111 rotary engine pop lights missing too
Plymouth Superbirb
I love the Buick Riviera
0:56 65 Rivs were awesome looking & awesome performing.
This list should have included the Corvette C4 and the vacuum operated headlight doors of several Mercury's and Lincoln's from the 60s & 70s. And don't forget the electric headlight doors on several Chrysler products of the same era.

What the salesfolks conveniently avoid mentioning is that the pop-up headlights (on the Porsche 928, for instance) actually add between 1 and 1.5 litres per 100 kms to your fuel consumption. MsG

What about the Opel GT from the 70' with the rotating pop up lights?
Agree with the Miura and Opel GT suggestions. The Opel light lever had a really meaty feel and operated with a satisfying thump. Remember a road test of the Sonnett where they couldn't break 100 mph because air pressure would open the headlights and the additional drag would slow the car. I would add two other Gandini designs (in addition to the Miura, Montreal and Stratos), the Lamborghini Jarama and Iso Lele, both very similar. Also Ken Okayama's KO 7, very simple and clean.
Thought maybe I'd see my Opel GTs on there (Well, I used to own one)...Technically roll over lights I guess not pop up...Loved that!
Ford 1968 LTD's w/ hidden headlites!👍
There was a reason for the extreme wing on the rear deck of the Superbird-- the car needed the down force from the wing and you had to actually be able to get into the trunk.
@krabysniper
Жыл бұрын
Getting into the trunk had NOTHING to do with the wings height. They made it tall for the sake of aerodynamics, it needed to be in "clean air" not turbulent air, in order to be effective.

After watching about a dozen of your videos, I have finally figured out how you make your selections. You simply make up different lists and use the cars you have video footage of. I have seen the Lancia, Ferrari Daytona, Superbird, and Regal in at least 4 other videos. And apparently, you don’t have any footage of a Cord, a video about pop up headlights without a Cord is nuts.
You should have included Subaru's little cyclops light that was a cool one
@5:43 when you're a racer but never heard of heel toe.
The Buick Riviera of the 1960s, well, at least up to 1968, was essentially a badge swap of the Pontiac GTO, and, aside from some styling cues, the only major difference was that the Buick Riviera had those hidden taillights and the Pontiac GTO did not.
i love the plymouth superbird!!! this is the best channel of cars!
Как же это круто!
How can you not include the Opel GT, where the headlights roll sideways to pop up?
Cant believe you guys left out the Fiat X-1/9 and the Opel GT. i have owned both, along with a 850CSi. All 3 got lots of attention with pop-up headlights.
De lujo todos los vehículos
I missed some of those I remeber, the Cord 812, the Maserati Miura (Ghibli I and Merak too, of course,) the Countach from the Lambo-Family (like Jarama, Uracco, Jalpa, and Diablo), the Opel GT with its unique full mechanical "workout"-device to turn the lights a full 180 deg, the seventies cokebottle-Corvette c3, the sixties stingray Corvette c2, some of the Camaros, the Olds Tornado I, Lincoln Continental Mk III and IV, Mazda Miata I, Mazda RX 7, the Porsches 924, 916 and 968, the Wankel Mercedes, M1 BMW, the Lotus Family Elan, Eclat/Excel and Esprit, the Matra family 530, Bagheera and Murena, Triumph TR 7 and TR 8, the X 1/9 Fiat, Volvo 480, Aston Martin Lagonda, the de Tomasos (Pantera and Guarà), and I'm sure together we could find quite some more of those classics, I guess there were a whole buncha japanese sportscars besides the Mazdas as well, while I only recall the slightly weird Subaru XT ....
OMG! I had completely forgotten about the word "padiddle". That, and, the moniker "Punch Bug" (any VW), was the way to surely end up with a sore upper arm, back in the late 60's. (I haven't "flinched" for almost 50 years). LOL
You forgot to include the Open GT, it has roll over Headlights...

The Opel with those spinning headlights were the greatest I've ever seen. Unfortunately they blind the driver spinning on. Really cool and really stupid.
I may be biased because I own one but what about the '88 rx7? Neat feature is when the lights are retracted, there is about 2inch clear plastic lens in the front end assembly that you can quickly flash your high beams thru, quick little pull back on the steering column light switch stalk for passing or warn oncoming drivers of a radar trap down the road they're about to head into!!!LOL 👍👍🏎🏎🏍🏍
The Risky Business 928, Dalton's Riviera and Sonny Crockett's Ferrari Daytona.
Yess the 850 and that's coming from a American muscle classic lover
1967& 1968's Cadillac Eldorado; 1967- 1969 Ford Thunderbird and Ford LTD.
this video lasts for 7:49, and only a minute is about headlights 😃😂😂

Honda Prelude 3G Missing !
The Buick Riviera was the featured "beater" car for Patrick Swayze in the 1989 movie "Roadhouse"...can't smash headlights you can't see ;-)
the Buick, the Super Bird and the Lagonda made a good soundtrack.
You forgot the Opel GT imported to America.1968-1973, another manually operated, rolling to the left and right to open or close.
hey you work with cars? i love this channel!!!
Fail! You forget the Opel GT.
The Montreal doesn't have pop-up headlights and neither does the Riviera. In both cases, the headlights do not move. No motion, no pop-up. The proper term that was used in the 60s for headlights like on the Riviera, the C2 Corvette, and the Mercury Cougar was "hide-away headlights". The original Lotus Elan's pop-up headlights were cool because they were held down in the closed position by engine vacuum stored in a reservoir that was a section of the backbone frame. To pop up the headlights, the vacuum was released and the headlights were raised by springs.
I always thought they should’ve given the Alfa Romeo Montreal Citroën SM-style headlights that will rotate left-and-right with the steering wheel and up-and-down with the suspension.
2nd and 3rd gen Corvette, 1st gen Camaro RS/SS, Ferrari 456 GT, Testarossa, GTO, 3rd Gen Trans Am...
left out my 69 Caprice 427 Sport Coupe
How could you miss the Corvette's that revolve? Sheesh...more research needed here.
And sorry but the 84 -96 Corvette had one of the best pop up headlights in history where they rotate almost 360 degrees when they go up and down. Not just a simple half flip up.
Take a look at the 70/71 Opel GT.
Why wasn't the Opel Gt included?
The bmw looks like a 90's cutlass in front
