In a 1983 issue of Hot Rod, near the back, I saw an ad for slotted front blackouts that opened up (kinda like horizontal blinds) when you turned your headlights on!!! That is so much better than having the visibility-stealing ones like most have!

Can you still get them? Anyone have pics of cars with them? Anyone want to sell me a set

 

Scanned the pic

 

I don't like them that much, but it is a very sweet idea


@ the branched out from the Van market

 

I doubt you can find any...

 

I actually like them, but I doubt a pair will ever be found or seen again.

 

Those are sweet as hell. Imagine starting your car up at night, and flicking a switch to open the blackouts. It'd be a cool effect.

 

those are 80s sweet. If I can't find them, I'll make my own. :lala:

 

i love the combination of aesthetic improvement as well as functionality... very cool idea. too bad no one on the boards has an untouched 80's machine with a working set on... it would be very interesting to see how they worked and such.

 

Ive seen a pair on a kids 300zx (80's) , awhile back....maybe I should stroll over to his house and ask him where he got those
