    ^ ^ Personally, I think it looks a bit out-of-place, especially with all amber lenses, but bugs me less than crooked bumpers. :rolleyes:

    the silver on on that early car is correct but many were immediately painted body color because it was not well liked.
    ive seen several original cars with crooked front bumpers with no prior accident damage. just handmade cars....
    a friend had an untouched spyder with one door 1” longer than the other.

    Ferrari initially tried a design where the headlights were in a fixed but uncovered position. The 'pop - up' headlights design was seen as a cleaner look that met the USA market requirement for exposed headlights. That interim silver nose paint seemed to be a design acknowledgement of the series 1 plexi nose design styling.
    The full amber lenses seemed to be another requirement ie. side marker lights (front and rear) for the USA market.

    Appreciate the info gentlemen, though I’m quite familiar with these along with many lesser known details and features on how Daytonas were constructed, including vast amounts of asymmetrical discrepancies and inconsistencies on their coach work.
    If I only had time to write a book (or two ?) on all those...

    You are talking to people who are very familiar with Ferrari idiosyncrasies.

    When I replied I only had the cars' idiosyncrasies in mind, but thinking about it I'm sure people like you, with your Ferrari experience, it will be the people's too. ;)

    I have never seen this. Enzo should have approved this for his new car... like it better than the pop-up or the plexi..

    Interesting.
    It does appear to be an ad-hoc attempt to make the model eligible for U.S. market regulations.
    I, for one, am glad it didn’t get approved and wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. Fioravanti agrees.
    At least pop-ups (when closed) allow the original bayonet/sword design silhouette to stay intact.

    There was also the further consideration of consistent styling with the 365 GTC/4 that would also be introduced world wide in 1971. Pop - up headlights were seen as a universal solution to the USA lighting design requirement.

    One of just seven (7) Daytonas originally painted Viola Dino Metallizzato 106-A-71 (purple).
    This one here is 13607, one of two RHD in Viola (the other is 13945). The other five were LHD.
    The late 60s and early 70s with the flower power era was so kool.
    Think (imagine!) about all the great colors: Avorio, Verde Bahram, Giallo Senape, Marrone Colorado, Nocciola, Luce Bosco, Verde Germoglio, Rame, etc.
