Having owned a 68 Charger, and a 77 and 90 Corvette I appreciated seeing all of those in video working.  They are a maintenance pain.  😎👍

@frank, I had a '69 T-Bird. I agree!

I enjoyed the video. Both my 1982 and 1993 Mazda RX-7s had pop-up headlights. I must have been lucky, no problems with them.

Ten years with a 1983 Honda Prelude and 28 years so far with a 1994 Mazda Miata and absolutely no problems with pop up headlights. I can't say the same with my friend's Corvette. Thanks for this interesting video JK.

@ed-davis,  Ed, I too had an 83 GSL and a 89 base model RX-7 and never had an issue.

24 years owning the ‘79 Corvette I’ve never had a problem with them.
