Classic cars become classic cars for a reason. Technology moves on, whether it’s engineering improvements or guided by legislation. In the case of cars with pop-up (hidden until needed) headlights, they are a thing of the past due to pedestrian safety. Still, some of those cars are still out there, and pop-up headlights are cool. They allow the car’s front end to be as characterful and aerodynamic as the designers wanted, and making headlights go up and down satisfies everyone’s inner child.
