Default round headlights

Stopped at WalMart to buy headlight for my '76. They didn't carry round headlights and the young lad in the automobile department looked at me like I was ancient. The question is, although, the car is only 28 years old, can my vette sue WalMart for age discrimination?

Had a simalar situation at a parts store in the small town I used to live in...
I asked the owner/operator for a couple of lights for the 'Vette... He didn't stock round lights! Sign of the times I suppose.... I guess soon only halogen bulbs will be in stock at a lot of the popular parts stores...?

You can get them at the Zone... Auto Zone. Don't waste the $$ on the sylvania cool blue. Just get a good halogen lamp.

My `74 might be an old dinosaur, but it still sends the young pups home with their tails tucked firmly between legs!!
