johnemac Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I am having a hard time thinking what car was larger with pop up headlamps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawja Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I think the Oldsmobile Toronado @ 211" is going to be the largest, but the Aston Martin Lagonda @ 208" is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnemac Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 I could only think of the Lotus Eclat, it is probably longer but being a Lotus it was probably a lightweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnemac Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 I totally agree, looks like it was cobbled together from various other ugly cars. What were they thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booreatta Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Pontiac Fiero about the same size??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCReatta Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Pontiac Fiero about the same size???Fieros smaller at 93.4". Reatta's 98.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCReatta Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Don't know if this counts or not, but the '74-'79 Lincoln Continental Town Car.. More like hide-away headlamps than pop-ups.127.2" wheelbase. 225" overall length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCReatta Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 90/91 Plymouth Laser/Eagle Talon/Mitsubishi Eclipse.. Looks a bit like a Reatta, and a bit like a Capri..Wheel base is only a little bit shorter than a Reatta at 97"Lamborghini Diablo 1990–2001. 104.3 inch wheel base, 176.0 inch overall length.'86-'90 Zimemr Quicksilver. Based on Pontiac Fiero (93.4"), but still worth mentioning just because I like the way it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wws944 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) The Lagonda is really a 'love it or hate it' look. For me, it depends on my mood. OTOH, that "Zimemr Quicksilver"... ugh. It is trying to be a '60s Toronado or an Eldorado from the side, but the front end is simply ghastly.I was thinking the Porsche 928 might qualify. Its wheelbase is almost identical (within a fraction of an inch) of the Reatta. But bumper to bumper, the 928 is actually a few inches shorter.Here is a fun list of cars with popup headlights: Hidden headlamps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Edited April 16, 2011 by wws944 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
