I've been on planet earth for 39 years and just realized I've never seen an xj220's headlights open. *mind blown* different than i expected. Very cool!
These tribute videos to pop-up headlights needed to be made! - Nice one. 😁 - I was fascinated by them as a kid, I suspect because they made an event out of the relatively mundane action of switching light bulbs on... and of course they were synonymous with the lion's share of all the cool cars as well. I was sorry to see the industry motivated to turn their back on them.
I liked the pop up headlights and was kind of disappointed when automakers discontinued them. The one that kind of got me was on the C4 Corvette. I thought those were needlessly complicated and could have been simplified. Also I think that might be a Chrysler Imperial Frank Sinatra Edition at 2:27. Those are kind of rare now.
Very nice, shucks, I wish I would have known about this. I"m around the car scene in AZ, and I could have gotten a few more for you. But I don't do social media for my own sanity. It's very interesting how these guys hid their headlights, it really was a statement. Today I see a lot of cars with angry expressions, they must be upset they can't have cool headlights. We can thank regulators for the pop-ups going away.
Really! I have family in AZ. What are some of the cars around there that have pop ups? Doing a Volume 3 of this video would be difficult, but I would consider it if I could get enough cars. And regarding social media, dude, I totally hear you. Facebook is just f'ing awful! I try to avoid it like the plague.
@@DtRockstar1 It would be pretty hard to top your area. But the Phoenix area has a huge car scene, mainly because the climate is really good for owning cars. You have to take care, the sun will do a lot of damage. But you see a lot of old cars driving around, and even more are in private collections. The car season goes through about October through May, some events are year round. Most of us take the summer off, or head to events out of state. As far as getting pop-ups it depends who brings what, that's always a surprise. We used to have a huge monthly car event, that all sorts of cars would show up. But it got too huge, and was shut down. We prefer the small events, where you can actually see the cars. :)
12:54 is my wonderful 1984 Mazda 929! haha i got a big shock when i saw it in the video as the car has changed somewhat from when i shot that footage of the lights! so glad to see this video after so many years!
There you are!! I'm glad you came forward, because I lost your info and I am giving credit to everyone who sends me footage. Are there any websites, social media links, ect that I can put in the description for you? Would you like me to include your name?
@@DtRockstar1 Yeah i have an insa thats basically my name so i dont mind that being put out there, its "@anthonymontecalvo" its just really awesome to see my 929 alongside all theses other wonderful cars with pop up lights, you really have done a great job at getting so much variety.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS, BUDDY --- I'VE ALWAYS LOVED POP-UP HEADLIGHTS EVER SINCE I WAS A KID!!! Kind of a not-too-common "nerd interest", I guess, but hey --- whatever "floats yer boat", ya know??? And yes, it was indeed a huge blessing for so many people around the word to accommodate your requests for footage of their pop-up headlights... very nice of them! :D :D :D
Absolutely, thank you so much for watching these videos and enjoying them so much! Having people from around the world sending me footage of their own cars was one of the coolest things that ever happened. It made this such a fun project. :)
@@DtRockstar1 Yes, it always feels heartwarming and satisfying when other folks take the time and effort to accommodate your wishes and interests, especially if said interests are rather unique or unusual.
I love this video, thank you so much. This video brings back beautiful memories of my childhood, I grew up wishing had a 1990 Toyota supra, my father had the 1989 Mazda 929, this 12:55 many blessings to you.
AMAZING AMAZING video. I watched it so so many times, to me it's mesmerizing. CONGRATULATIONS job well done. I'm a car design fanatic and specially the pop up Headlight era.👍👍
Wow --- love da "clam-shell" covers at 0:15 and 6:03, da "flip-completely-over" lights at 1:06 and 2:03 and 10:51, and da "roll over 180-degrees" lights at 3:54 and 7:44 :D
These video's are so nostalgic. However there are a few cars that you missed. 85 Nissan Pulsar NX, 88 Nissan Pulsar NX, 1989 Buick Skyhawk, 1986 Pontiac Sunbird GT, 1994 Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am, 1983 Toyota Celica GT. I know it's impossible to get them all and I am not complaining. I miss the fun of pop-up headlights so much. Thank you for what you have compiled.
@@DtRockstar1 Out of all the footage you have amassed, which vehicle with hidden headlights is your favourite? I owned quite a few with pop up headlights because I loved them so much. My favourite was my 1987 Pontiac Firebird Formula even though I loved them all. The vehicle that I wished I could have enjoyed them from behind the wheel was a 1991 Lotus Esprit because that is and will always be, my dream car.
13:09 "Seriously, Michael --- I look ridiculous with these DRAGON-FLY lamps! Couldn't you have asked Devon for something a bit more tasteful and elegant, like an eagle or a swan?!" :D :D
Great content! 👍🏻 My only disappointment is that you only had one quick shot of a Fiat X1/9 showing the headlights going up and down once. Such an iconic car designed by none other than Marcello Gandini, I think you could’ve given it a little bit more attention 🙂 But great job nevertheless!
@@nicholaswolfe2399 if his was a frank sinatra edition they made less than 2,500 units in its life span and as few as 500 a year. Quite the unicorns they were
Since 1935 Cord 810 so many brands indeed designed cars with pop up headllights incldg: Ford, Fiat, Toyota, Opel, Alfa, Lancia, Volvo, Jaguar, Triumph ,AstonM, BMW, Saab etc. even Mercedes experimented with the C111 BUT NO : Audi, VW or French main ones: Renault, Peugeot, Citroën... orRollsR, Bentley...really?
If the reason for discontinuing the pop-up headlights due to safety precaution, as it could be fatal if hiting the sharp edges, well, why not just design them like some other models, where they just glides or rolls inside, so nothing protruding in front of the cars.
Great video. Would like to suggest, my apologies if you’ve done one already, a video of my fav fetish dashboard porn. Dashboards that have more than 2-4 gauges + idiot lights. Ones that come to mind, we’ll my mind anyway, various Corvettes including show cars such as Mako Shark, Porsche 911 analog, Thunderbird, Opel GT, any Chrysler products from the ‘60s, Triumphs, Spitfire, MGB and many more. Thanks again for the pop up video. The world is a duller place without.
PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION!
Cherished.
Ok
Can you tell me the cars features in this video?
I could watch this all day ..... great soundtrack too
I've been on planet earth for 39 years and just realized I've never seen an xj220's headlights open. *mind blown* different than i expected. Very cool!

This video is soul food, absolutely appreciating it in every way.

When you realize the real future was in the past
Yes! Remember the Concorde? Mach 2.0 cruise. Now we go Mach 0.83.
3:57 , these are sick ... like a transformer showing its guns
lol, That's actually a great way of putting it!
Those covered headlights that have "garage doors" look so cool.
Absolutely fantastic, thanks for allowing to showcase my two Toronado Trofeo! @2:58
Pogg I have a 1993 fifth avenue that has headlight doors
YES!! The Pontiac Fiero gets a little love!

komradkolonel they didn’t exactly discontinue them, they’re banned
@@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347 They aren't banned as such. It is just difficult to implement pop ups that meet safety regs.
This is simply an awesome video... you got some truly rare cars showing off their headlights :) Now waiting for your W8 test drive video :)
Another fabulous collection sir! Thank you!
The most satisfying things for me.
This video completes my heart.Very nice !!!!!🙂
Thank you very much! 😎🤘

1:29 MY CAR!! I LOVED IT
Coincidentally, three of my four cars have pop-up headlights. I love it when both headlights (or covers) are prompt and well synchronized.
Thanks so much for the love for my 88 z31 Shiro and tag . Great vid and tribute to the best auto history or a lifetime 😜👊

That music was a perfect touch to this video!
Thank you very much!!
Absolutely amazing!
Loved the video man! thanks for including me!
@4:41 that's my silver Fiero! Thanks for the awesome video!
It was great meeting you all at Baker's! Thank you so much for being a part of it!
It was a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Cars from the 80s looked much cooler than today's.
that music hit so hard ...nostalgic

Thank you very much, Jacques!
Raddest thing i've seen since the movie "Rad"! Love it!

Thank you very much!
@@DtRockstar1 Yesssss dude you are amazing

Thank you so much, this is the best comment I have received in a while! This totally made my day, thank you! 😎👍👌🤘
Nice job getting the GM concept cars, especially the LeSabre!
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ----- love da "WHOLE LINE OF FLIRTS" at 4:36 :D :D :D
I like the ones that open or do it one at a time.
Wow --- love da "clam-shell" covers at 0:15 and 6:03, da "flip-completely-over" lights at 1:06 and 2:03 and 10:51, and da "roll over 180-degrees" lights at 3:54 and 7:44 :D
Looking at pretty cars just opening and closing her eyes
I rather have a car with popup headlights than regular headlights. It looks more appealing to me; way ahead of its time too.
11:03
Finally a Volvo
I never knew the Z/28 had retractable covers!
The best compilation on UA-cam 👏
Thank you very much!!
The jaguar opened its covers like sunglasses and gave the suprised look
would have loved to see a 1967 Eldorado
Thank you for having my car in it!
(Mrtwoslow)
I have an 84 datsun 200 sx with pop up headlights just a cool feature

@@jeffreygower7294 I think a few of my favorites are the Cizeta V16T, Vector W8, and Panther Solo. All very unique headlights.
4:44 i dont care how small the difference is
a car having pop up headlights automatically make it 10x better
Nice videos ! Would be awesome to make a similar compilation with active aero car !
13:09 "Seriously, Michael --- I look ridiculous with these DRAGON-FLY lamps! Couldn't you have asked Devon for something a bit more tasteful and elegant, like an eagle or a swan?!" :D :D
Nice video, one car that I miss from these is the MTX Tatra V8, only 3 ever produced, these cars used the headlights from BMW 8-series of the time.
I was just going to mention that car - a beautiful car - probably the most beautiful to ever come out of Russia!
@@Astrosisphere Tatra is a Czech company, but that doesn't change, that it is a beautiful car
3:54 my vote for coolest. 😁
Great content! 👍🏻
My only disappointment is that you only had one quick shot of a Fiat X1/9 showing the headlights going up and down once. Such an iconic car designed by none other than Marcello Gandini, I think you could’ve given it a little bit more attention 🙂
But great job nevertheless!
Nice!
SUPER HOT! Great music! X
Guess I’m not the only one who thinks the music is cool 😎
I was hoping to see the 929 hb coupé and there it was, great video.
Thank you very much!
LOL --- flip-over "bug-eye" headlights at 11:21 :D :D
I Miss My 1991 Toyota Supra. Best Car I Ever Had.
What's not to love ?
That godawful " soundtrack " !
And some serious editing .
Miami Vice montage car chase is what I think of
isuzu piazza : raises eyebrow
Very nice video thanks for uploading. I didn't see the Buick Rivera clam shell lights though!
Definitely best video on youtube
Thank you very much!! 😎🤘
Thank you very much!! 😎🤘
Thank you very much!! 😎🤘
Are cars with pop up headlights good for beginner drivers?
10.43 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix convertible.
First of two years [1967-68] with hidden headlights and the ONLY year for a GP convertible.
i now own a mazda 323f bg, very cool car
It seems you missed the lebaron gtc which was quite common in the 90´s and a version of the new yorker, also the Ford probe the Chrysler laser.
What’s the type of car at 2:16 I don’t care if I go into debt I must own it
1951 GM LeSabre Concept, the one and only!
DtRockstar1 value of $500,000-$1,000,000.....welp time to learn how to build a car from scratch cause I’ll never afford that
I really miss my 87 Nissan 200sx turbo and my 86 Toyota mr2 those pop up lights are sexy they should bring them back
No one asks about the Bitter CD? What a knowledgeable audience.
Maybe I missed them, but Ford made a bunch of upper trim level LTDs with concealed lights in the 60s and 70s.
LOL I think da "double decker" headlights at 10:32 are one of my favorites :D
9:52 Huh???? Swing down from above and then flip up to light???? Now, THAT one's kinda WEIRD...!! :P :D
you should go to Australia and checkout the 1970 Holden torana gtr-x and the 1969 Holden hurricane concept
What's the car at 2:17 ??
1951 GM LeSabre.
All car headlights are like eyes
Pop up Rockstar!
😎🤘🤘🤘
If you mentioned the make and model per shot.. That would have been wow..
2:27, that’s a rare car!! A 1981 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron, only a few thousand were made each year
My grandpa had one of those in the same color many years ago and when he sold it I never thought I’d see one again.
@@nicholaswolfe2399 if his was a frank sinatra edition they made less than 2,500 units in its life span and as few as 500 a year. Quite the unicorns they were
I would have liked a manufacturer and model list in the description..
C4 corvettes have the best
Since 1935 Cord 810 so many brands indeed designed cars with pop up headllights incldg:
Ford, Fiat, Toyota, Opel, Alfa, Lancia, Volvo, Jaguar, Triumph ,AstonM, BMW, Saab etc.
even Mercedes experimented with the C111 BUT NO : Audi, VW
or French main ones: Renault, Peugeot, Citroën... orRollsR, Bentley...really?
Wedges and pop ups!
Lmk if you need a jalpa or countach for the next video
Nice! I actually have several Jalpas and Countachs in the first video, if you haven't seen it: ua-cam.com/video/nRQ-nbhwrEI/v-deo.html
If the reason for discontinuing the pop-up headlights due to safety precaution, as it could be fatal if hiting the sharp edges, well, why not just design them like some other models, where they just glides or rolls inside, so nothing protruding in front of the cars.
heck yeah, my baby xt6 at 2:07... great shots my guy |@jacobjpg on insta🤸♀️|
niiiiiiice.
1980 dodge st regis and 1989 Toyota Corolla gt-s ?
Didn’t see a Starion/Conquest.
That's in Volume 1 of this video, and it can be seen here: ua-cam.com/video/nRQ-nbhwrEI/v-deo.html
nice one
1st view on this soon to viral video!
I was sure hoping it was going to go viral!
I swear the vector w8 looks like it has the headlights from a chevy s10
You ever just turn on the Pop Up headlights on you're 1984 Pontiac Fiero just to flex on people without Pop Up Headlights?
Great video. Would like to suggest, my apologies if you’ve done one already, a video of my fav fetish dashboard porn. Dashboards that have more than 2-4 gauges + idiot lights.

9:40 zajebista
Not gonna lie, I skipped nothing in this video, I watched it to full length.
Does anyone know what the 4th car is? (the one with the top and bottom opening doors for the lights)
That's the Corvair Monza GT concept car.
@@DtRockstar1 thanks!
5:30 HACHI-ROKU!
Alpine A610 and Venturi's are missing...
