    I have a few Panteras, but there were a few Mangustas that had the popups. Most of them didn't.

    That car reminds me of this 70's TV show. I think Bertone must have had a piece of it :)

    I suspect most of the people posting ideas for other cars to consider had read the first post and understood it (I know I did).

    But, because the OP did not publish a list of all the cars he's already got, people are trying to donate some of the more unusual cars to consider.

    Maybe posting a list of all the cars already video taped would still be useful in this thread.
    I realize it would be a lengthy list.

    Just a thought.... How about a car that was supposed to have pop up headlights and at the last minute the design was changed with iconic results... Bigeye Sprite.

    Gah! Just when I thought I had all the Ferraris, I didn't realize that the ultra rare 365 California had popups. I know the Crawford Museum in Cleveland, Ohio has one. Anyone else know where to find one?

    Just got the Cizeta V16t and the Toyota 2000GT!

    The one's I have left that I really want are the Aston Martin Lagonda, Lancia Stratos, and Jaguar XJ220 (kind of have that one, but would like better shots.)
