Remember SQUARE headlights on StreetRods ?
When I see the Mercedes type lights on streetrods I think of square headlights . . . . .

Doooohhhh

Yup, remember them, just a bit fugly in my opinion. Pro should be along later with a pic of his that had em. Sorry Pro, nuttin personal. !!!!

Do you mean square as in the shape? What about those YELLOW lights? My pops said when he was my age those were big back then and lots of people had em on their old cars.

What cha' Talkin' 'bout Dave??? They Look Round 2 Me. He He He

Actually I put rrectangular headlights in it in the mid 70's when they first came out. It was a novelty thing I guess. Somethin' different @ the time.

................ and I put rectangular (Vega) turn signals under neet' em'......... For the record I had looooong hair back then too. He He He

Those headlights on that car there pro reminds me of TV's...

Hey, dont pic on square headlights! Eagle has 4, so did the Olds. Ok, so maybe their factory, but combined with a 110 Amp alternator, Xtra vision low beams and Silverstar high beams, I could see the deer almost before they saw me. What i dont understand is why people put Flush headlights in street rods? In some they look kind of cool, but on a lot of them they look Ugly and they have a tendancy to fog over due to poor seals. Can anyone explain this?

All that long hair mess wit your brain? he he he JK Will never get used to seeing square lights on round fenders, but to each his own

C-mon now all the kids are doin it!! now lets all put a earing in our mouths ,rofl

Hey Pro, I never did go with the rectangular headlights, but I still have long hair. I'm not going back to the '60's, just never left !!!!

thank god the 70s are gone . i cannot remember any fad that was good in the 70s . tires outside fenders , gone . candy stripes , gone . t buckets , well---- almost gone .lol

Hey Kenny, couple guys here are really gonna pound ya on the t bucket deal. Tee Hee Hee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, your forgot the really big fad in the 70's, vans with shag carpet on the floors, walls, and ceilings. Maybe the van guys moved up to buckets?????

i think you are correct , but where did they all go ? i know of one t-bucket here in a local town turned in to a food bar ! they took the interrior out , presto food bar . i know you t-bucket fans will try to visit it on vacation , tims pizza , 412 west ,springdale, arkansas
