These mechanical sounds are so satisfying. I loved my c4.
There really is something soothing about hearing those old electrics whirr and move. I love my C4 as well...The "tumbling" headlight action never gets old!
Kind of quirky part of motoring history, but just love them! Keep popping.
Same here! I adore this fad.
The pop-up headlight are the best invention ever.
Hope they come back some day!
I liked how the Fiero headlights sounded. Owned several of those over the years.
Me too! The lights have that classic motor sound with a solid mechanical THUNK. Super satisfying.
C4 corvette is my all time favorite!!! God I love that car!
Meee too!
@@RetroCarsForever man I have a 96 Grand Sport it’s something about the way it roars down the street. C4 for life my friend!!!! Loved the video keep up the good work. I’ll love to meet up with you guys one day.
@@aljalonhayes8177 Thank you! What area of the country are you in?
And I love Grand Sports, that's the C4 version I chose to feature for this video if you haven't seen it...th-cam.com/video/J9wjh0X5QY8/w-d-xo.html
@@RetroCarsForever I live in the Chicago land area! Also great video on the C4!!!!!!!!!!
@@aljalonhayes8177 Los Angeles area (that's where this was all filmed)
Pop up headlights are the best! 😍
I truly miss them!
Now that's kind of car video ı like. No loud and unnecessary talking, no super loud music.Only beautiful pop up headlights. I really like how they look. My favorite is probably RX-7 or NSX. They both look awesome. Ones on the C4 is really cool too. They do a 180 spin. Really unique. Not unique as the Cizeta but that thing is something else.
Thank you, glad you appreciated the chill vibe...A different way to make a TH-cam video, but it was very satisfying to make.
The 180-degree unique "tumble" of the C4 def influenced me towards getting one (my C4 is the silver one at the very end). I STILL enjoy watching them do their thing every time I hit the lights.
Although the four-headlighted Cizeta is truly the "king" of the pop up headlight cars!
@@RetroCarsForever Yeah ı know that Silver C4 is yours. I watched your other videos. İt's a good car. Sadly they're really expensive for some reason in here. Like ı only managed to find 2 for sale and one is 55K dolars and other one is 60k! No idea why but that's too much. C4 is a good car but it's not worth 60k.
@@truck-kun5924 That's a shame, they're a phenomenal deal here in the USA ($10 to $25k buys you a really nice one here).
@@RetroCarsForever Maybe ı should move to America :D
The best looking fiero I've seen.
It’s beautiful isn’t it? And such a rad magenta color.
When I just tapped the button lightly on my 240SX, the pop-ups would open and close in one movement. At a stop sign, it was fun to see people giggle when I used it to signal them to go first. GREAT FUN!
That was so much cooler than the title makes it sound. The C4 and Testarossa are my favorites. This makes me want to buy a car with pop-ups.
Then my work here is done! Thanks.
This is what I’ve been waiting for! TH-cam has brought us perfection!
Also for next time we need a first gen RX-7 😄 great work!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
I know! I’ve heard the first gen rx7 pop ups have a unique action.
That is a beautiful prelude, and don't get me wrong all of those cars look loved and well taken care of
Agreed…both those Preludes are exceptionally preserved. Showroom fresh and pretty low miles (70k I think?) Maybe the nicest in the country
cars with pop ups are very nice to look at all of them very nice!
Agreed! I don't think there's EVER been a car with pop ups that doesn't look great.
@@RetroCarsForever yes!
Since i was a kid I have always thought pop up lights are cool, but I particularly like the 180 rotation of the c4 headlights. It's a bit more dramatic than simply up down.
Loved the music and actually laughed out loud when you introduced with your 'mantra' voice brad. This was cool. Good to hear from you again brad
Thanks Shane, glad you enjoyed it! It actually several takes to find my "mantra" voice, not usually how I speak...
"Acting" is hard!
@@RetroCarsForever I thought you did a really good job at finding it. That's what made me laugh. You must have a gift there, the golden voice of mantra brad
Incredible video! Damn, I miss the 80s & 90s. Seeing all those cars gave me very inappropriate feelings...lol. I don't have a favourite car from this video (ok, ok, maybe the Testarossa), they all mean something to me. They are the legends of my youth.
Thanks! “Legends of my youth”…great way to put it.
loved my original Integra!
Pop up head lights is 1 of the good reasons why i still have my c4 vette...this is a perfect video to show the beautiful pop ups.. good job 👍👍
Thanks! I also never tire of the pop up action on my C4.
This hit the spot! Triggering all the right sensations. Nice / diverse collection, too!
Thanks!
One of my favorite videos of yours!
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for making these videos! It helped convince me pull the trigger on my beautiful mint aqua metallic 1992 C4 Corvette!
You’re very welcome, and congrats! One of my favorite colors.
My first car was a 1985 Honda Prelude. I loved those pop-up headlights!
The pop-up action of the early Prelude is one of my faves...Closes with a nice satisfying CACHUNK!
Man, your collectors edition is a heart breaker. That thing is so beautiful. Anything with that c4 featured is a guaranteed awesome video.
Thanks so much! More coming soon.
Finally.
Testarossa was my all time favourite.
Two years in the making! Hope it was worth it.
@@RetroCarsForever it sure was👊
@@BrPerera TR is my fave too never get to see them with lights on like that
@@BrPerera Thanks, that's great to hear.
And I LOVED filming the Testarossa. Of all the cars it had the quietest headlight sound, and I don't think I had any clue how they looked with their lights up, just not something I've ever seen in photos or anywhere else, so that was a treat to capture.
@@lovecars4803 ya that's depressing, Hiding the best features of TR. Thanks to miami vice its still holds up the glory it deserves.
I've gotta go with the Vettes for the coolest mechanism
For the future, you've gotta find an FC RX-7, they have a unique mechanism where the light bulb itself stays vertical so that it can still shine through the flash-to-pass lenses in the bumper while the light cover body panels still function as normal pop ups, it's really cool!
Also the sideways roll of the Opel GT is pretty dope as well :)
Great suggestions! Didn’t know that about the FC, that’s pretty clever.
Another great video. Love the classic pop up headlights. My 88 C4 needed new gears. The previous owner of my 92 already fixed my pop ups, no issues yet. But I don’t do a lot of night driving with it. My 2001 Trans Am had pop up headlamps and the motor failed in the one headlamp, but other than that… no issues. As far as night driving visibility, pop ups suck lol… but I love them for their nostalgia.
Thank ya!
Coming back to this video to say it has motivated me to replace worn and broken parts in my pop up mechanisms for my Mazda Familia Astina to get rid of it's horrid squeak it used to make and now all I hear is the sound of the motors which is so much nicer
Glad I could inspire you. Had to look up what your Mazda was to refresh my memory, such a neat car!
One of my first cars in the late 90s was a 2nd Gen. Ford Probe 24V and one of the big reasons buying that car...well pop-ups of course 😅 Now i own the best of them, a C4 😉
Nice! I love those Probes and almost got one in this video, my friend got a purple one but it had too many issues and so hard to fix.
C4 is a cakewalk to repair by comparison!
I loved the video!
Thanks so much!
Missing my CE LT4 and 944S2. I’m nostalgic, favorite would be the Testarossa here and the 930 Turbo when it comes to flip ups, errr or maybe a Pantera.
Oh man I WISH I could've found a 930 slantnose to film. Or a Pantera! Excellent choices.
And if you're feeling nostalgic for a C4 or 944, I feel like they're still out there for decent prices.
Do more of these buyers guides. You did a great job and keep it interesting.
Thanks, will do!
Excellent coverage! That 944 sounds fantastic 👌🏽
Thank you! And agreed, I LOVE the sound of that 944 Turbo...It snorts and snarls and just sounds so ALIVE.
Yes the video of my car!
Yep, only took six months or so! 😅
my fav are the Z31s! its my first and current car!
Who needs the voice of an attractive woman, when I get a velvet-like narration from Bad Hansen, along with ear-pleasing car sounds and 80s-Esque background tracks! Well done, Brad!! :)
Hahah! Thanks. The narration actually took me a few takes to get right, kinda the opposite of my typical high-energy style!
Damn, I miss pop up lights.
Awesome video. Can't help but think of a Forza game with the music, atmosphere, and location in this montage.
Thanks so much! A flattering comparison
Wonderful ❤️💘
Thank you! Cheers!
I was at the gas station getting gas and when I finished and getting back into my 1994 C4 Corvette a guy was walking by and pointed to the front of my car about that time I turned on the headlights which popped up and he gave me the thumbs up!!!!
Niiiiice!
“Yo, I got myself a fanny pack. They were having a sale down at the GAP. Spend my nights with a row of… rad cars! Pop pop! Hope no one sees me gettin’ freaky!”
…we see you, Brad!
"Just because I'm white and nerdy!?"
@@RetroCarsForever “Nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour cream.” 😉
can you do the 4th gen firebird?
Would love to! One of my favorites.
That poor light blue 300 ZX towards the end there sure could use some TLC to say the least bruh!!! Hands down the Corvette headlights seem to be the most long lasting, the moror's still good on the headlight mechanism. I vote to bring back a few models of supercars with pop-up n down 👇👎 headlights!!!👍👍💯💯
Heh, while it could use some lube on the headlight mechanisms, I do think that blue 300ZX is in decent shape for a $100 car!
And agreed about bringing pop ups back...There actually IS a supercar that just came out that features them! I go over all that in this earlier pop up headlight video here if you want to check that out...
th-cam.com/video/I9YP8vG-CZM/w-d-xo.html
Best one is still the C4!
It’s my personal fave! Only one that “flips” like that.
@@RetroCarsForever Big reason I picked a C4 over a C5 when I bought my Corvette :)
@@joenewmark1513 I get it...While the C5 has a lot of improvements over the C4, there's a number of aesthetic changes with the C5 that I feel are downgrades (styling, no clamshell hood, and yep...less dramatic pop up headlights!)
My first car was a 85 Prelude 5 speed
Sounds like a fun first car! (Mine was a big ol American boat with an automatic)
@@RetroCarsForever I also had access to an 81 2 door Town Car.
@@KD2HJP Heh, that's close to what I owned-
th-cam.com/video/M9i4u8uzqOg/w-d-xo.html
3rd gen Firebird next time brother 🔥🦅
I knowwww! Really wanted one in the video...Invited an owner I know who had one to one of our canyon drives but he had last minute car trouble.
And then was GOING to film another at Radwood but the owner left before I had a chance!
Next time for sure, I love those cars.
@@RetroCarsForever awesome! BTW man you did such a great job on this and I loved your women's opinion and dating series! I shared many of them as well as this one with my Facebook network. I own 3x third gen Firebirds. All in the process of rebuild. I'm also working on developing my own youtube channel. Perhaps one day I'll help you with a new video of some kind! Thanks for responding! I love your channel!
@@landrecce Awesome! I appreciate the support. What kind of TH-cam channel are you focusing on?
(Also totally random aside, just watched the Knight Rider christmas episode on Netflix, makes me reallly want a 3rd gen Pontiac now!)
@@RetroCarsForever haha amazing! I'll be honest my brother I'm not doing the niche thing despite algorithms. I'm just being me and doing my thing, which is pretty much everything. I'm trusting that by focusing on my audience, I'll expand horizons. Maybe it won't work out, but I've never been motivated by money. The channel will have clothing, costuming, training, camping, kids toys, sports cars, motorcycles, guns, movie props, and whatever else crosses my path. Once I'm more established I might niche down then. I guess at 44 I'm still finding myself haha. One of my three cars will be a KITT build! Almost as good as Airwolf! Great to speak with you! I could tell by your videos thar you're a really down to earth guy! Thanks!
@@landrecce It's true, the TH-cam algorithm doesn't like when you make "random" stuff, it much prefers that you have one subject and stick to it.
But I'm with ya...If there's a video that I want to make that doesn't quite "fit," I'll still make it because I enjoy it (like the recent "No Time To Die" Bondcast I released). It might not reach a large audience but it was fun to make, so why not?
Missing the Mazda Familia Astina BG
If only I knew someone with one of those! Incredibly rare cars over here in California.
Is there anyway you could make this a 1990s internet pop-up ad?
Hahah! Believe it or not I actually tried that as a graphic (to show the car models and the owners text info)...But it was too "in your face" and ruined the relaxing mood I was goin for.
@@RetroCarsForever hahaha fair enough! I say you can't get much radder and more fitting than some smooth saxaphone jazz interrupted by the many AOL and Yahoo sounds we grew up with
Wonderfully edited...couldn't wipe the grin off of my face the entire time ... I have a soft spot for the 89 prelude Si, was my 1st man trans & 1st popup headlight machine and I adored it. Again beautiful six minutes and thirty two seconds worth of soft car porn. Bravo
I Liked & Subbed ✌🏾
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
And I need to figure out a way to drive that Prelude, looks like fun.
Where is the Opel GT? Most unique yes the pop-up was a manual lever much like a handbrake
Couldn't find one! But agreed those are amazing. "Flip sideways" lights.
love the channel, been wanting a c4 now for awhile. Always been and always will be a honda guy, but now and then get an American v8 to play with. Ive had a dozen+ cool old hondas for daily's. Atm I've found my fav, an 03 acura cl type-s 6mt!! and an 07 tl type-s 5at for the wife, she finally got me to relent and get her an auto lol. Anyways keep up the good work!!!!
Thanks so much! Those sound like great Acura’s.
C4 headlights don't "pop up", they flip up, also why aren't there any Trans Ams?
REALLY wanted a Trans Am in this as well, but proved elusive. Invited a few to our canyon drive get togethers but they had last minute mechanical issues. Wanted to film one at Radwood but left too early before I got a chance! Ah well.
As for C4 lights, to me they qualify as "pop up" headlights because once deployed they are "popped up," even if they do more a tumbling action to get there.
2:42 WHY TF does the interior noise for the NSX sound like a goddamned MICROWAVE OVEN!!!???
Heh, that’s classic Honda interior chimes for ya!
This is the same channel that made The Doctor Wars 8 years ago
Yep, still me! Shifted from doing geeky/mashup videos to automotive videos.
My 300zx jaj
miata has the best in my opinion
No Mitsubishi Starion!😕
They were hard to come by!
@@RetroCarsForever That's a shame, I probably could have found you one!
no porshe 928!!!!
I REALLY wanted one in this! Next time. Those (and the 968) have really neat "Frog eye" lights.
The ugliest, in my opinion, had the Porsche 928. Do those frog eyes even count as pop-ups? 😅 But if you enjoy or even really like them thats totally okay, of course.
