Commander 57 ◊ 2012-06-11 21:14	I think you meant to say "single headlights". I also believe this front design lasted to model year 1958. -- Last edit: 2012-06-11 21:21:41
rjluna2 ◊ 2012-06-12 13:34	My interpretation is the dual headlights of single headlight on each end and the quad headlights of dual headlights on each end -- Last edit: 2012-06-12 13:34:57
Commander 57 ◊ 2012-06-12 14:45	I know what you're saying and I have heard reference to "quad" lamps, but the standard industry term is "single lamps" for cars with two lights and "dual lamps" for those with four. It is the reference I normally encounter.
