THROWBACK CAR FEATURES

THAT NO LONGER EXIST

Volume 2


 

Pop-up Headlights

(2004 Corvette)

 Most commonly found on sports cars, it was originally designed to meet government regulations regarding where headlight could be. By having the light fold out of the bumper, manufacturers could design cars with a low beltline without running afoul of the law.

Rotary Engines

(2006 Mazda RX-8)

 


The most famous iteration of this engine configuration was invented by Felix Wankel in 1929. It eventually sent the German automaker NSU Motorenwerke into bankruptcy. Mazda used this engine in its lineup between 1974-2003, as seen here in the RX-8.

T-Tops

(2002 Pontiac Firebird)


Somewhere in between a Targa top and a full roof lies the T-top. Consisting of a rigid bar flanked by two glass roof windows, it brings together a taste of the convertible driving experience with a bit extra structural strength.

Front Bench Seats

(2016 Chevy Impala)

Like most features of early American cars, it was a holdover from the horse-drawn carriage. Allowing for extra passengers or just to give room for the driver and passenger, the bench seat was the essential feature of the big American sedan.

Vinyl Roofs

(1996 Cadillac Fleetwood)

Originally a holdover from roofs of horse-drawn carriages, the vinyl roof was an option offered from the "Big Three" to American car buyers during the 50s to the 80s. It didn't cost the manufacturers much but made them a ton of money due to its wild popularity

mid-60s and 70s.

Fender Skirts

(2006 Honda Insight)

The fender skirt was originally designed for aerodynamics, but it took on a life of its own a styling essential. Nothing screams the 50s look more than pairing fender skirts alongside whitewall tires.

Split Windows

(1970 Dodge A100)

Initially, a result of limitations in glass manufacturing split windows because of a styling cue in its own right. It was cheaper to make two separate, flat windows than one large curved piece. This was obsoleted by cheaper glass-working techniques learned

during WWII.
