I remember that ****. No production C4 headlamps ever rolled forward that quickly, though. You just know they sped up the film like a ****!

I'm pretty sure my lights go up that quick if not close to it.

Other than having seen it here before, I honestly don't remember it. But then there's a good bit of the later 70s and early 80s that I don't remember.....

I would have to agree with "tparkhi2", my headlights roll forward just as quick. I was around when that was made (only a small child at 12), but unfortunately they where never marketed in Australia. So it was a good buzz to see it for the first time.

I was 1 at the time. I wonder if I saw it and it worked its way into my subconscious. Ever since then, I've had Corvette on the brain.

Well I was in my 30's back then but I don't recall ever seeing that add. But back then I was totally into bikes .. my year round dd was a 79GS850 Suzuki (which I still have in the garage)

My headlights seeme to go up almost that fast.
