1963 Corvette Stingray in front of the Theme Building at LAX


 I know this image is online already but it's an awesome picture. Wasn't the future wonderful?

it seemed futuristic for cars to have lamps mounted on the roofs. the lamp in this image extends UP telescoping like an antenna. manually operated by turning a handle that is a repurposed window handles. once the main telescoping arm has been cranked UP then the eight lamp arms extend out. discontinued before production.

It's a shame that option never caught on as it would be just the thing for consumers who spend WAAAY too much for status symbol cars. They would happily pay WAAAY too much for their own personal parking light spotlight. A remote controlled smaller version could be useful for the lost-car-at-the-mall crowd.
