I agree with you, however, if the Studebaker Avanti had quad headlights from day one...do you think we would today consider THAT look to be normal.....and dual headlights a strange, 'odd' look ?????

1963r2 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 I thought one of the quad light designs was very nice. The others looked average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight FitzSimons Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 How could it have been "cost" when, only 5 years earlier, Studebaker spent the money to add quad headlamps to the '58 Studebaker sedans? I say the styling department personnel all were still having nightmares about those 1958 quad headlamps. --Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
