@wiggums1 even into the 1970s cars were made with a mechanical lever to pop the lights up.....like the Opal GT

I always wondered how the headlight covers opened.. I thought it was electric! Wonderful video, thanks! :)

@raconter1 WHAT A RAT ROD THIS COULD BE . LOL

A beautiful and rare car. Too many old cars are being butchered into so called street rods and low riders. I hope this one stays original to preserve it's rare historical significance which these days seems to mean very little.

The hidden headlights really make the car fantastic. I would have put vertical tail lights on back and gone all the way with a continental kit!!! and painted the car cream/tan metallic!

Enjoy your fat pension and benefits package you'd never get for polishing chrome in the private sector!
I LOVE this car! Thanks for demonstrating those hidden headlights...I never saw the actuator before! There's a 42 white convertible in "The Strange Case of Laura Mars" a Hollywood movie of the time..you HAVE to see it...includes a contemporary Chrysler too! :) Jack
