    Overall, I'm a fan of dual headlights, but it looks weird forced into the space designed for a single round.

    Would a Tucker owner be required to buy these works of art in sets? :D

    I wonder what country that 57 Chevy is registered in? Defiantly not a US Plate

    I guess the Kit could be worse looking

    "Dual headlights are Standard Equipment on all 1958 cars. Cars with the old fashioned headlights will become obsolete."

    Now that is some serious marketing spin!
    It is funny how the standard switched back and forth over the years.
    I like the look of the 1976 Le Mans and the 1977 Trans Am for the switch from single round to dual square headlights.

    Then in the '70's, Tractor-Trailers carrying about 73,000 only had standard singles. Some of them anyway, including Chevys and GMC's.

    Guess they were cramping Plymouth. They Jumped them 3 years and went right to 1960! E3C13961-76BF-4987-B541-8B69465C8DCF.jpeg

    Google Lens was zero help, so I'll bite: who's auto is that? It looks like an early Colonnade Monte Carlo, if Chevy designers really skimped on the cash for design and manufacture.
